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.

Kate Campbell, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.
Good to be back, Owen, for our first episode in person.
In 2021. Yes, COVID safe. We are a little bit away from each other. In our new recording studio. Yes, half finished recording studio. For those of you that are watching on YouTube, you can see some, what do you call them? Like egg cartons on the wall. Sound dampening. Sound dampening, sound capturing, sound something. Probably not glued on properly.
That's what we can... It's definitely weird not being on Zoom anymore.
It is. It is. But it's good because we can talk and we can read each other's body language a bit better. So today we're talking about VDHT, which is an ETF. It is probably one of the most popular ETFs that are for introductory investors. So investors that are just looking at this and they're thinking, ETFs are great. How do I make it even easier?
Yeah, and this is part of our monthly deep dive where we look at an ETF or a share that's really popular in our community or popular on our site's best ETFs and RASC media as well. So we'll spend 20 or 30 minutes going over how VDHG works, All of the key things you need to know as an investor, what information to look and some of the pros and cons of maybe using this as an investment product. And probably to start with the disclaimer, I don't have a position in VDHG, but I believe you do.
Yes, I own some shares, so I have a small position in VDHG. It was a recommendation of one of our services being Rask Invest, but it was also and is still a recommendation of our Rask ETF service. And we're going to explore why that might be the case in just a moment. But I think the thing to note is that simply saying that we own it and that we've recommended in the past, we're not recommending this ETF to any individual person that's listening to the show. This is us just exploring what this ETF does.
Yeah. As we'll get to, there are risks. Definitely need to read the product disclosure statement as with every product.
That's it. Yeah. And if you need to find out more about the services that we offer at Rask, head to rask.com.au forward slash FSG. And that's our financial services guide. They'll tell you more about what we can and can't offer you. Okay. So maybe I'll throw it over to you, Kate, because this is kind of the first thing is what is VDHG?
