Investing 101: What are ETFs?

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

If you’ve been putting off investing in the share market for years, this podcast is for you. Today, we're talking about something that's been quietly revolutionising how young Australians invest their money. ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, have exploded in popularity recently, but most of us still have only a vague idea of what they actually are or whether they're right for us. On today’s pod, we’re going to unpack ETFs, explore why they’ve become more popular, some of the negatives, and whether they’re actually as simple as they sound.  Want to support The Daily Aus?
