Understanding ETFs
Vanguard's exchange traded funds (ETFs) are an easy, low-cost way for you to invest in many companies at once, or securities such as bonds. ETFs are traded on the stock exchange (ASX) and offer broad exposure to the Australian share market, international markets, and different sectors.
Diversified
In a single investment, ETFs provide access to hundreds and sometimes thousands of shares, bonds, or both, so you spread out your investment risk.
Easy
You can buy or sell our ETFs easily during ASX market hours (Mon-Fri, 10am to 4pm AET) through a Vanguard Personal Investor Account or a stockbroker.
Price control
ETFs offer the option to create a limit order to trade at the chosen price you’re willing to buy or sell.
Real-time trading
ETF prices are not fixed and will typically move up and down throughout every market trading session.
Flat brokerage
With Vanguard Personal Investor you pay $0 brokerage on Vanguard ETF purchases and a flat $9 fee on sales.
