Betashares is guided by our core principles: simplicity, cost-effectiveness and transparency. Betashares’ investment philosophy is to deliver long-term value to investors, via:

  1. Low investment costs – reducing the cost of investing is one of the most direct and certain ways to improve investment outcomes
  2. Effective passive investment funds – funds tracking custom indices have been designed with thought given to return, liquidity and risk, providing effective exposure
    to a given asset class
  3. Exposure to ‘Smart beta’ and factor investment strategies – these target the alpha premium that active managers seek to exploit, but with lower fees.

By delivering on our investment philosophy, we are well positioned to help investors achieve their long-term investment goals.
