    ASX listed European ETF – what’s available?

    Hi James, In your newsletter you list buys and sells within your global ETF portfolio. The stocks you mention are often not on the ASX. For example you indicated interest in the VGK ETF to gain exposure to European equities. Would Vangard's VEQ be the matching ASX product? For those of us who only  operate within the ASX, any chance of naming the ASX parallels (if they exist - perhaps with commentary if there are extra considerations) of the international codes you provide (especially in the ETF space). Thanks Alain

    Answer

    Morning Alain,

    A very good point and one that is well and truly in line with our thinking. One feature on our new site which is soon to be launched is a feature that looks as specific ETFs available to trade themes, i.e. if we look at Europe we will list 3 or so ETF’s that would give exposure to this theme and provide details on each that are easily searchable on the site.

    There are a few major differences between the 2 European ETF’s mentioned including currency denomination, hours of trading and of course size with the US VGK’s market cap at $US13.2bn compared to the local VEQ at $191m. However they both have the same objective which is to mirror the performance of European equities hence their results are likely to be very similar.

    MM is bullish the VEQ ETF.
