We’ve added more Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to Choiceplus

The new Choiceplus ETF options employ a passive investment strategy, which can be a low-cost way of gaining exposure to shares and other asset classes. A passive option typically aims to track the performance of a market index, rather than trying to ‘beat the market’. 

Below are the options that were added to the list of ETFs available to Choiceplus members: 

• BGBL - Betashares Global Shares ETF
  Provides exposure to an index comprising approximately 1,500 developed markets companies (ex-Australia).
• HGBL - Betashares Global Shares Currency Hedged ETF
  Provides exposure to an index comprising approximately 1,500 developed markets companies (ex-Australia), hedged into Australian dollars.
• VAE - Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Shares Index ETF
  Provides exposure to securities listed in Asia, excluding Japan, Australia and New Zealand. 
• GLPR - iShares Core FTSE Global Property Ex Australia (AUD Hedged) ETF
  Provides exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and companies listed in global developed markets (ex-Australia) that own, trade and develop income producing real estate.
• GLIN - iShares Core FTSE Global Infrastructure (AUD Hedged) ETF
  Provides exposure to core infrastructure businesses listed in global developed markets.

We regularly review the options available to you on our Choiceplus platform to give you more investment choice. This is part of our ongoing due diligence and member focus. 

The new ETF additions to Choiceplus aim to provide you with greater options for diversification, with exposure across international shares, property and infrastructure.

Choiceplus is for members who want a more active role in managing their superannuation or pension.  

As a Choiceplus member, you can choose to invest your superannuation or pension in:   

• ASX shares 
• select ETFs 
• listed investment companies (LICs) 
• term deposits.  

Choiceplus provides many of the benefits of a self-managed super fund (SMSF) without the high cost and administrative burden of an SMSF.
