ASX exchange traded fund developments

Overview

Investment options on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) have seen a focus on both broad index exposure and specialized active management.

Initial highlights for long-term wealth building included the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF, which provides exposure to over 1,000 international companies, and the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK), which targets digital protection and network security sectors.

More recently, asset managers have expanded the ASX landscape with the launch of active exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Longwave Capital Partners introduced the Longwave Australian Small Companies Fund – Active ETF (WAVE), targeting 100 to 120 small companies. Simultaneously, Janus Henderson launched the Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Active ETF (JGBL), a research-based fund designed for global equity allocations. Other firms, such as Franklin Templeton, are also noted as participating in the launch or update of active ETFs on the exchange.
