There's an ETF for that - Understanding Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Exchange Traded Funds have recently experienced enormous growth in Australia with an estimated $64 billion invested in ASX listed ETFs as of February 2020. While remaining popular with retirees and SMSFs, millennials are now the largest investor demographic indicating that younger people are also diving into ETFs. This course will help everyone, from young investors starting out to more experienced investors and retirees to understand the differences between ETFs and how to build a diverse portfolio with ETFs. This course covers ETFs for different asset classes such as gold and precious metals, fixed income, real estate and Australian and International share markets. Also, different themes such as technology, robotics, cybersecurity, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) ETFs are explored.
