The new Smartshares ETFs added are: Emerging Markets Fund (EMF); NZ Dividend Fund (DIV); NZ Property Fund (NPF); US Large Growth Fund (USG); and, US Mid Cap Fund (USM).

“Four of the seven existing Smartshares ETFs on InvestNow were slanted to Australasian equities along with funds targeting global, European and top 500 US stock indices,” he said. “But with five extra asset classes to choose from our investors can develop more-nuanced portfolios tailored to their own risk profiles and preferences.”
