Designed for both first time and experienced investors, Smartshares are the easy way into the sharemarket.

Smartshares are exchange traded funds (ETFs) that can be bought and sold through a Primary Market Participant such as an NZX Firm just like shares, or you can apply to purchase Smartshares directly using the cash application facility. There are currently four Smartshares products to choose from which offer an easy way to create a diversified investment in both the New Zealand and Australian sharemarkets.
