What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
Here's something worth knowing if you've been meaning to make the switch to a better broker. To celebrate their fifth birthday, Perla are offering three free trades a month for five months if you transfer your portfolio across with a minimum of $1,000. For anyone investing regularly, that's meaningful savings on brokerage that can stay invested instead. Perla is chess-sponsored, built specifically for long-term investors, and now has over $3 billion invested on the platform. Hey there, here's a quick note. This podcast contains general financial advice only. That means it's not specific to you, your needs, goals or objectives. So don't act on the information until you've spoken with your financial advisor.
You'll find our full disclosure, disclaimer and link to our financial services guide in the show notes. Kate Campbell, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.
It is wonderful to be back, Owen, in our little studio.
Yes, it is. For those of you that are viewing, you can see behind us what looks like eggshells. And what you can't see is a partially completed studio. We are recording with the best side of the studio at the moment. And Kate, you do have a coffee there, a latte.
Yeah, from Vacation, one of our favourites in Melbourne.
Yes, Vacation Coffee House. It's stuff from Flinders Street Station, if you know that. But Kate, we're not talking about coffee today as much as we want to brag about our soy lattes or regular lattes. We're talking about ethical ETFs and in particular the Ethy ETF. This is a deep dive. Yes. And this was chosen by the community, which I'll get you to run through in just a minute. But first, just a disclosure, a disclaimer, all that sort of stuff. Even if we talk about the ETFs on the program... It's important to remember that this is limited to general financial advice. If we talk about an ETF or any type of investing, it's important to remember that we're not tailoring this to you. That's what you need to see a financial planner for.
And in particular for ETFs, they are a form of managed fund. So that means they issue what's called a PDS, a product disclosure statement. Be sure to read that before you go through and invest in anything. Any ETF has them and they explain all the taxes, the fees, the risks, that sort of stuff.
And Owen mentioned the word disclosure and for full disclosure, neither Owen or I own a position in the FEETF.
Nor do we have a relationship with beta shares or anything like that.
No, and you can't invest directly as an individual in beta shares because it is a private company.
It is a private company, yes. So, Kate, talk to us about this poll.
Yes.
What did the people say?
So, if you've been listening for a while now, you'll know about our regular ETF or share deep dives each month. And so, this month, I framed it around ethical ETFs. And so, we got the data from our best ETFs website. Found the five or so most popular ETFs, the ethical ETFs people were looking at and gave it over to the audience to decide. And I guess I just mentioned them because I think when you're looking at different ETFs, it's good to have a few different options to start with just for your research. And so one of them, which we're going to talk about today, was the BetaShares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF, which is ASX ETHI, E-T-H-I on your...
