ETF Research
To help with your research into ETFs and other exchange traded products, explore the articles below written by our team of experts. Our research includes the team, culture, ESG integration, cost and process of these funds while also assessing performance. These updates cover ETFs tracking core indices from around the world and feature some of our client's favourite holdings.
Our research team has carried out due diligence to ensure that the funds are suitable for investors like selecting large, well established ETF providers in the market.
Please note that no news or research item is a personal recommendation to deal. Our ETF research is for investors who understand the risks of investing and that investing in ETFs isn't right for everyone. Investors should only invest if the ETF's objectives are aligned with their own, and there's a specific need for the type of investment being made. Investors should understand the specific risks of an ETF before they invest, and make sure any new investment forms part of a diversified portfolio.
Important information: Please remember that the value of investments, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest. If you are unsure of the suitability of your investment please seek advice.
