Portfolio Diversification

Since iShares ETFs track market indexes which are comprised of a basket of securities, they inherently provide instant diversification. The underlying basket of shares can literally be as broad as many hundred in the case of an index like the MSCI Emerging Markets or as narrow as 25 holdings with the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. And, as iShares ETFs are traded on the ASX every day, they represent a very convenient way of adding or removing exposure to a particular market or asset class when you want to.

We have built our product range around the world's leading indices. With just one trade on the ASX, you can diversify quickly and easily in a focused manner across developed and emerging markets, small to large cap stocks, and single country to global exposure. In essence, iShares ETFs provide the building blocks to enable investors to create portfolios with greater diversification.
