Broad Markets ETFs

A portfolio is only as strong as it’s core

Core ETFs provide investors exposure to asset classes that are broadly representative of the market and form the building blocks of your portfolio. Depending on your needs, core ETFs come in many shapes and sizes and provide instant diversification, liquidity and cost efficiency.

Diversified Exposure: Investing in a broad basket of stocks tracking the whole market provides diversification which helps mitigate the singe stock risk and lower overall volatility.
High liquidity: While the ETF is a basket of stocks, they trade just like an individual stocks, so that you can quickly move in or move out of the position to factor in your market views.
Save time and effort: Save time and effort of single stock research and focus on the market as a whole.
Low Cost: With one trade, you can get access to hundreds of different companies
Rebalancing: Broad market ETFs stay pure to the desired investment theme and rebalance for the investor

Core-Satellite Strategy: This strategy aims to replicate the broad market return in the core portion of a portfolio, and uses a satellite strategy to find alpha opportunities and add diversification using non-core market exposures.
Strategic Asset Allocation: When you have a target set of asset classes you expect to have in place for a long period of time. The target allocation is expected to remain the same and the portfolio is rebalanced to the original allocations when they deviate from the initial settings
