Each Stockspot portfolio invests in low-fee Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) across various assets. The investment choices are constantly reviewed to ensure you have access to the best possible return and diversification opportunities.
| Australian shares |
Selected ETF Second choice VAS tracks the S&P ASX/300 Index, offering greater diversification benefits than STW which tracks the S&P/ASX 200. VAS also has a lower expense ratio. VAS offers indirect exposure to property and commodities via Australian stocks. |
| Global shares |
Selected ETF Second choice While VGS has a lower expense ratio, IOO has higher liquidity and a longer listed track record. |
| Emerging markets |
Selected ETF Second choice While VGE has a lower expense ratio, IEM has higher liquidity and a longer listed track record. IEM offers exposure to over 800 emerging market shares. |
| Bonds |
Selected ETF Second choice Both ETFs have a similar expense ratio and offer similar diversification benefits across Commonwealth and investment-grade corporate bonds. IAF was chosen because of its higher liquidity and longer listed track record. |
| Gold |
Selected ETF Second choice GOLD has a lower expense ratio and higher liquidity. We also prefer unhedged gold compared to the hedged version as a diversifier in our portfolios since it provides better protection against domestic currency debasement and a weak Australian economy. |
