BetaShares ETF

Hi Paul, thanks for your reply to my question about a Nasdaq ETF on the ASX.

I wasn’t aware of the BetaShares NDQ.AX. Given this ETF  has only just been made available, I’m wondering what risks are involved with investing in newly released ETFs such as this one?

A: I don’t think there are too many risks with a new ETF from BetaShare. The main risk, secondary market liquidity, seems to be OK – BetaShares has appointed a market maker and the bid/offer spread (when I checked) was OK.

Another option is to buy US listed ETFs. Open an international share trading account (for example, with Nabtrade) and invest directly in ETFs trading on the US exchanges.
