What does the ASX sell-off mean for ETF investors?
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.

I know that many of you who are listening to this podcast will be experiencing a market crash for the first time. I also know that many of you are invested in ETFs. In this episode, I talk to the co-founder of Betashares ETFs, Ilan Israelstam. We talk about how ETFs are holding up, which ETFs are doing well, and what the crash means. I hope you are well and enjoy this conversation with Ilan from Betashares.
Elon, thanks for joining me on the show, mate.
It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me, Owen.
I thought it was timely to have you on the program because we've had some news out recently. Obviously, the market's been in a pretty volatile shape. We've had some news out recently of some ETFs closing down and a few other things coming down the pike. So it's, I guess, timely that we talk here today. But maybe before we get to that, you can just tell me a bit more about you and the business that you co-founded.
Yeah, that's right. So my name's Ilan. I am indeed one of the co-founders of a company by the name of BetaShares ETFs. So we're one of Australia's largest ETF companies. I'm also the principal of an Australian investment company, which is called Apex Capital Partners. And we come on to BetaShares in a minute, but Apex Capital Partners invests in early stage financial services, fintech businesses. As to BetaShares itself, so BetaShares runs one of the largest suite of ETF funds in Australia. We have 61 exchange traded products, total funds under management of around $10 billion. And so those are funds that are all able to be bought and sold on the ASX like a share. So that means that there's no paperwork required to invest in them.
There's no minimum investment beyond what a broker might add to your investment. And it provides exposure to all sorts of things, asset classes, strategies, et cetera, which we'll probably talk about. So I imagine a number of your listeners and viewers would be familiar with ETFs and Zabita Shares is one of the larger players in the Australian space.
Yeah, I'm sure if they've been investing for any considerable length of time that they would no doubt have come across your ETFs on the market.
