Global fund manager Magellan Financial Group has taken on the role of market maker for its active exchange-traded funds (ETF) to ensure investors are provided with a sufficient level of liquidity in the offering.

Accusations the exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector is creating an investment market bubble are unfounded and inaccurate, a financial services sector economist has said.

Australia’s exchange-traded product (ETP) market is projected to finish the year at $35 billion in assets, with investors increasingly opting for low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETF), according to VanEck.

An economist has moved to dispel the myth that exchange traded funds (ETFs) are instruments allowing access to equities indices only, insisting instead these structures can be used to enable a number of different investment strategies.

There is an important difference between exchange-traded funds (ETF) and exchange-traded products (ETP) and it is an important fact SMSF investors should be aware of, according to an economist working in the space.

AMP Capital has entered into a partnership with exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer BetaShares and in the coming months will launch an initial three exchange-traded managed funds suitable for SMSF trustees and self-directed investors.
