Great ETF Podcast
Hi Gang,

I just stumbled upon a great presentation put on by the ASX that explains the myths about ETF lack of liquidity and other information about them.

Go to:

Listed Managed Investments - LMIs, fund manager, diversify investments - ASX

and select "Getting Started: Building your portfolio using Etfs".

The "Questions to the Panel" is excellent and the most informative.

I'm actually becoming quite a fan of these products now.

Purchased some STW in the SMSF the other day. Again a long term holding so I'm not concerned about market volatility in the short to medium term.

Cheers - Gordon

Interesting listening.
Are all ETF's priced in US dollars? ie is there any currency risk associated with purchasing STW?
Also, what's the easiest way of adding STW to a margined portfolio?
Could I ask the margin lender to purchase for me, or would I have to purchase myself through commsec and then transfer them over?
Thanks

Some more detailed information on currency and liquidity can be found at:

iShares ETFs for Australian Investors

Go to Resources; Reports & documents.

STW is the S&P ASX200 index so the stocks are Australian stocks. Hence it is in $Aus.

Check out SSgA: SPDRS Australia Exchange Traded Funds, ETFs for more information.
