ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are a type of investment fund that trades on an exchange like a stock. ETFs own assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities, and investors buy shares in the ETF, giving them exposure to the underlying assets.

Why should I invest in ETFs?

Investing in ETFs can offer higher returns than savings accounts, competitive fees, easy access, transparency, and risk diversification. ETFs can be a great way to build your wealth or save for your retirement.

Invest in ETFs

Discover our ETFs

We offer a broad selection of ETFs designed to support a range of investment themes, from global equities to emerging sectors like semiconductors and digital assets. While these options may align with various investor interests, each comes with its own set of risks and should be assessed against your individual investment objectives.

Timeless Themes

Global Screened Equity ETF

Our Global Screened Equity ETF applies ESG principles (Environmental, Social and Governance; investment screens based on these factors) to exclude companies that do not meet defined environmental, social, or governance criteria¹. While this approach aligns with investor values, it also introduces certain risks, such as equity market volatility, potential underperformance of excluded sectors, and increased concentration due to a smaller investable universe.

Gold Miners ETF

Gold has historically been viewed by some investors as a store of value during periods of economic uncertainty or rising inflation². However, investing in gold-related assets carries risks, including price volatility, geopolitical and operational risks in mining sectors, and potential underperformance during periods of stable or falling inflation.

Real Estate ETF

Including real estate in an investment portfolio may provide diversification benefits³. However, real estate investments carry specific risks such as sensitivity to interest-rate changes, potential downturns in the property market and lower liquidity in stressed market conditions.

Semiconductors ETF

Semiconductors play a key role in powering modern technologies⁴. ETFs focused on this sector offer exposure to companies that design and manufacture chips. However, investors should consider risks such as cyclical demand, supply chain disruptions, valuation pressures, and high concentration in a few large firms.

Video Gaming and Esports ETF

The video gaming and esports industry has grown significantly in recent years, supported by digital adoption trends⁵. ETFs focused on this sector come with risks such as rapid shifts in technology, regulatory oversight of game monetisation practices, and revenue fluctuations tied to consumer preferences.

Hydrogen ETF

Hydrogen is considered a potential contributor to decarbonisation (reducing carbon emissions produced by businesses and industries) efforts in various industries⁶. ETFs focused on this theme offer exposure to companies involved in hydrogen technologies but face risks including early-stage innovation uncertainty, high capital requirements, and reliance on supportive public policies that may not be realized⁷.
