        How to Invest in ETFs

        Investing in exchange traded funds (ETFs) is easy. You can buy and sell units of SPDR ETFs as they do ordinary shares – by contacting an investment professional such as a Stockbroker or Financial Adviser, or by trading through an Online Broker.

        Investing Directly Through The Stock Market

        Buying and selling SPDR ETFs works in the same way as shares, as they:

        • Can be bought and sold anytime during ASX trading hours
        • Are allocated an ASX Code or Ticker
        • Have no minimum investment, but there might be a small amount which is defined by your broker
        • Can be traded using the same order types/strategies (e.g. stop, market and limit orders)
        • Are priced intraday, meaning you can view the price movements just as you would with shares

        You may need to pay brokers' commissions, trading fee and other levies associated with ETF trading. These amounts may vary and are paid directly by the you to the broker or other service providers.

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. ETFs typically invest by sampling an index, holding a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index. Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.
