InvestSmart Group debuted its first listed fund – an active exchange-traded fund (ETF) aimed at delivering income to investors without sacrificing capital gains – on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today.

ETF Securities Australia has reported its Robo Global Robotics and Automation exchange-traded fund (ETF) has achieved inflows of $100 million just nine months after its launch.

The Australian exchange-traded fund (ETF) market has reached a record high of $38.4 billion in funds under management (FUM), growing by $534 million last month, according to BetaShares.

SMSFs are using exchange-traded funds (ETF) to address diversification issues in their investment portfolios, which continue to be overweight Australian shares, according to online investment adviser Stockspot.

BetaShares has launched the BetaShares Australian Investment Grade Corporate Bond (CRED) exchange-traded fund (ETF) today to simplify access to the $1 trillion Australian corporate bond market.

Boutique equity manager Montgomery Investment Management is riding the wave of popularity for global exchange-traded products (ETP), particularly as SMSFs continue to fuel exchange-traded fund (ETF) growth.

Large corporate bond parcel sizes in Australia are deterring SMSF investors from playing in this space, with many opting for exchange-traded funds (ETF) instead, according to an investment firm.
