What is an ETF?

An ETF lets you invest in many companies or assets in one go.

It’s a simple way to spread your risk, without having to pick individual winners.

Think of an ETF like buying a whole box of chocolates instead of just one, you get a mix, so you’re not relying on a single pick.

How to invest

What are the risks of ETFs?

Like most things in life, investing comes with some risks. Understanding the key risks can help you decide if ETFs fit your financial and life goals.

Each Smart ETF has a risk indicator to help you assess the relative risk level and compare it to other funds in New Zealand.

The risk indicator is rated from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The rating reflects how much the value of the fund’s assets will vary over time. A higher risk level generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way.
