Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are
\none of the fastest growing investment products in the world, offering investors
\na simple and cost-effective way to achieve diversification in their investment
\nportfolios.<\/p>\n

ETFs blend the benefits of both
\nmanaged funds and shares. ETFs offer efficient, low-cost diversification,
\ncombined with flexibility and liquidity of a share.<\/p>\n

ETFs can be bought and sold on a
\nstock exchange like shares. And, like managed index funds, they contain a
\ndiversified portfolio of securities designed to track specific stock and bond
\nindices, like the S&P\/ASX200 a measure of the Australian stock market. This
\nmeans investors can use ETFs to gain the exposure and diversification they
\nwant, quickly and simply. \u00a0ETF shareholders are also entitled to interest
\nor dividends paid by the share or bonds that make up the ETF.<\/p>\n
