Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. With more and more Australians investing into exchange traded funds, a common question from many investors is how many ETFs do you need to build an investment portfolio? In our lead article this week, Vanguard’s Head of ETF Capital Markets in Australia, Adam DeSanctis, explains what investors should understand before building an ETFs portfolio, how investing in a small number of ETFs can provide global diversification across different asset classes and regions, and the key mistakes to avoid when investing in ETFs. In our second article, Vanguard's Chief Investment Officer Asia Pacific, Duncan Burns, delves into cryptocurrency investing by testing the investment merits of bitcoin ETFs. His verdict is simple. Investors should always follow the time-tested best approaches of assessing an asset’s enduring investment merit and ability to generate positive real returns. Our third article explores the latest ASX data on ETF inflows, with investors adding $1.78 billion into Australian ETF assets in January and the industry hitting a new high. Find out where Australian investors were directing their capital. | |
