What is passive income and how can ETFs help?

Owen Rask 0:00
Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website. And don't forget to read the PDS and TMD to decide if it's right for you. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.

How do you evaluate income from ETFs beyond just yield?

Owen Rask 3:04
It gets the people going, so to speak. Absolutely. Yeah, we're going to be talking about all different ETFs. I've got some framing for people that may be new to the whole ETF and income concept, just in case. We don't want to leave anyone behind. Let's start off with when we think about the idea of income investing, what does that even mean?
Hugh Lam 3:24
Yeah, sure. I think the idea of income investing generally, I think most people would be familiar with income from stocks. I think that generally people understand that a company can pay out shareholders through different means, whether that's buying back their own shares, but also distributing out that profit or earnings in the form of a dividend. I think that's a common form of income investing that most people would be familiar with.
Owen Rask 3:48
Apple does really well. They pay you a dividend.
Hugh Lam 3:50
That's right. Yeah. And so, we tend to see companies in Australia generally having higher dividend payout ratios or the amount of the dividend being higher because the nature of those companies, you know, generally lends itself to become more stable in their distribution profiles.
