| Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Australia's exchange traded fund (ETF) industry now has almost $200 billion of assets under management, and an increasing number of investors are using ETF products to invest on overseas markets. Our lead article provides a detailed breakdown of where ETF investors directed their capital over the March quarter. Data compiled by Vanguard and the ASX shows that more money was invested into international ETFs over the first three months of 2024 than over the whole of 2023. Meanwhile, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, looks at the rise of the so-called "Magnificent 7" stocks, an eclectic group of technology companies collectively worth more than $20 trillion. As a group they have delivered huge returns over the last year, but looks can be deceiving. Lastly, for investors who want to learn more about what to look out for when choosing ETF products, we explain the importance of asset allocation, finding the right provider, costs, and longevity.
