What company delistings mean for ETFs | Dive into diversifieds | Watch our 2024 Vanguard Index Chart video

Delistings and ETFs. Learn about diversified ETFs. Index chart video.

View this email online Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. In the last couple of months, as a result of takeovers, several large, long-established companies delisted from the Australian Securities Exchange. They include CSR, Boral, and Alumina. In our lead article this week, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, explains what happens to market indexes when companies are delisted as a result of a merger or acquisition, and how exchange traded funds (ETFs) tracking indexes adjust their portfolios to reflect company changes. In our second article we take a dive into diversified ETFs to explain what they are, what they invest in, how they can be used in a portfolio, and their main advantages. Lastly, we have a short video for you to watch on the 2024 Vanguard Index Chart. It covers the period from 1 July 1994 to 30 June 2024 and shows how a starting balance of $10,000 would have changed in value over time after being invested into a range of different asset classes. We are currently looking for media case studies of people who had planned to retire early, but have had to keep working for financial reasons, and also for people who were forced to retire earlier than they had intended to. If you are happy to share your experience in the media, please contact us by sending an email to corpcommsaustralia@vanguard.com.    LATEST INSIGHTS What company delistings mean for ETFs Some big companies have left the ASX recently.
