ETF A300

Hi James, I never miss your well presented Stock Reviews and clear portfolio direction. Could you provide your thoughts on the new ETF A300 please as a Core holding Many thanks Richard

Answer

Thanks Richard,

This is the Global X Australian 300 ETF, which holds the top 200 stocks, then the next biggest 100 to state the obvious, so expands breadth and diversification. It’s new, and its small in size (~$6m), only listing on the 8th August, with a low 0.04% fee structure. The medium market cap in the index is $2.2bn, and if we’re generally positive on the market, as we are, we’re naturally positive on this ETF, although we generally wait for a while after such a new listing to see how it trades.

Weekend Q&A: ASX ends the week at a fresh high as results season heats up

A strong end to the week saw the ASX200 advance 1.5%, breaking to new all-time highs above 8,900. It was only a little over four months ago that the ASX was trading below 7,200, clouded by an aggressive tariff regime implemented by the president of the world’s largest economy. While the tariff situation remains a work in progress, with a deal yet to be signed between China and the US, it has quickly faded from headlines. Deals with other countries suggest the same will happen between the two superpowers, and our view at the time—that huge tariffs simply didn’t work as policy and therefore had to be a strategy—appears to be playing out.
