WIll ETFs give me good US exposure?

Charlie is telling us to get into USD as the Aussie dollar falls toward 75cents. Are buying ETF’s like IVV and VTS the equivalent of “getting into” the USD?

A: Thanks for the question.


Yes, the ETFs you mentioned (IVV and VTS) are going to benefit in the same way as the underlying shares are priced in USD, with the ETF quoted in AUD. They are a real option to buying individual shares such as CSL, Brambles, Amcor, Computershare, QBE, BHP etc.
