Why choose an ETF?
Lower costs
ETFs, especially those that are passively managed, entail fewer and lower fees than other types of investment
Low entry points
Unlike some other investment types, like mutual funds, the entry point for ETFs can be as low as $20, making them far more accessible
Instant diversification
Diversify your portfolio instantly with a single transaction, increasing the stability of your investment and gaining broader exposure to the market, all without increasing your workload
Equal footing
ETFs level the investment playing field by giving everyone, from retail traders to major institutions and hedge funds, the same minimum investment and the same annual costs
Stock-like liquidity
ETFs have the trading liquidity of an individual stock, which can be especially attractive during times of economic uncertainty
Minimise taxes
ETFs only incur tax liability when they are sold, giving you greater control over the taxable events your holdings are subject to
Outperform the market
By gaining exposure to industry subsectors with high growth expectations, ETF investments can outperform the market
