Exchange Traded Products
Get broad, global market exposure in a single trade with exchange-traded funds
What Are Exchange Traded Products (ETPs)?
Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) are modern, flexible investment tools that allow you to invest in a wide range of assets through the stock exchange. Whether you're looking for exposure to Australian shares, global markets, fixed income, property, or even commodities like gold, ETPs offer a convenient, cost-effective way to diversify your portfolio.
At Focused Advisers, we often use ETPs as part of a tailored investment strategy for clients who want transparency, control, and long-term growth potential.
How Do ETPs Work?
ETPs are investment funds that trade on the ASX (Australian Securities Exchange), just like regular shares. They typically aim to track the performance of an index, sector, or asset class.
The most common type of ETP is the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). For example, an ETF might track the ASX200, global technology companies, or a basket of government bonds. Others include ETMFs (Managed Funds) and ETCs (Commodity Funds).
Why Are ETPs So Popular?
There are several reasons why ETPs have become such a widely used tool in financial planning:
- Diversification: Gain exposure to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of investments in a single trade.
- Transparency: Holdings are typically published daily, so you always know where your money is invested.
- Cost Efficiency: ETPs often have lower fees than actively managed funds, helping you keep more of your returns.
- Liquidity: ETPs can be bought or sold on the stock exchange at any time during trading hours.
- Accessibility: You can start investing with relatively small amounts and build gradually over time.
How We Use ETPs at Focused Advisers
We incorporate ETPs into many of our clients’ portfolios as part of a broader, personalised strategy. Whether it’s for long-term wealth creation, retirement income, or ethical investing, ETPs offer flexibility and structure.
We carefully select ETPs based on:
- Your investment goals
- Risk tolerance
- Time horizon
- Tax efficiency
- Market exposure preferences
As with all investments, choosing the right mix is essential, and that’s where our expert advice comes in.
