Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

I need to take a five-year view with that.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

Yeah, so I guess two things there.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So generally for all of our ETFs that we run on the equity side, we physically replicate.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So we fully replicate those underlying indexes.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So I guess breaking it back down, an ETF, when you're talking about passive, it's essentially tracking and benchmark.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So if we're talking about equity ETFs, it's tracking an equity index.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

Now, we as the fund managers, we don't profess to know which stock we should buy.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

We outsource that and we license those indexes.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So an example there is Robo ETF.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

We license that index from Robo Global.

They're the experts in that space and they're the ones that are able to identify the 90 near stocks that are, you know, part of this theme of robotics automation and artificial intelligence.

So we licensed index off them.

Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

Now within those 90 stocks, we fully replicate that.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

So we hold all 90 stocks within our portfolio.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

For example, we were licensing an index that had 2000 names.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

And there are ETFs out there that have indexes that have more than thousands of names in them.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

It's very difficult to actually hold 2000 names within an ETF so that you do what's called index sampling.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

And that's where the index ETF providers, you know, they appropriate and they work out, okay, well, what's the best sample of that index that gives the closest reflection of the underlying index in terms of performance.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

Now, they're experts in this and that's what we would do in that case.

Australian Finance Podcast
Thematic Investing in Australia & Your ETF Questions Answered

We would want to make sure essentially that the tracking difference between the ETFs performance and the index performance is minimal.
