Diversify your investments with today’s fastest growing
financial product
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer access to a range of
investments in a single trade, are usually less volatile than
individual stocks, cheaper than most managed funds and more
tax-effective. But how do you pick the one that’s right for you?
This straightforward book helps you weigh up your options, build an
effective portfolio and maximise your profits.

— find a broker, open an account and familiarise yourself

importance of a diversified, lowly correlated portfolio, and how
ETFs can help you achieve this

and add property to your investment portfolio

through careful selection of active managed funds

for retirement, and how ETFs can get you there
