Australian Finance Podcast · How to invest with just $5 (micro-investing in Australia) · 2 Nov 2020 podcast

Yeah.

Yeah, so good question.

So when we first launched, we had five different portfolios and they were called conservative through to the aggressive.

So there's conservative, moderate, conservative, moderate, moderately aggressive or aggressive.

Each one of those was made up of seven different ETFs and they ranged from Australian large caps to the Asian large caps, the European large caps and US.

There was some government, Aussie government bonds, corporate bonds, the Aussie markets.

They were the ones that we launched with sort of July.

A year later, due to our customer feedback, we launched a sixth portfolio, which we called the Emerald, or it's our social responsible portfolio.

They have two ETFs in it that I just listed, but also they've got two more social responsible ETFs, one called RARI, which is Australian Responsible Corporates, and EFI, which is the Global Sustainable ETF.

And a lot of people say, yeah, that's great, Brendan, you're talking to me, but ETF, ETF, ETF.

What an ETF is, is an exchange traded fund.

It's a type of sort of security, and this is my definition of it, so I apologise if it's not a technical definition.

Type of security that involves a collection of securities such as stocks.

So, and usually they track an underlying index.

For me, it's easy to think of it as a shipping container.

Think of a shipping container and then put all your stocks in it and close the door.

That is an easy way for me to understand what an underlying index is.

And an index can be a market index.

It could be like the ASX 200 or the S&P 500 in the US or the NASDAQ.

It tracks a certain segment of the financial markets.
