BlackRock confirmed that its iShares business, the world’s leading provider of ETFs, has listed four new Australian ETFs on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) today.
Two of the new iShares ETFs provide first-to market access to Australian indices not previously available via an ASX-listed ETF:
The iShares S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries is the first and only ETF on the ASX to provide exposure to Australia’s small-cap universe across a wide range of sectors.
The iShares S&P/ASX 20 is the first and only ETF on the ASX to provide targeted exposure to Australia’s 20 largest blue chip companies.
These new funds take the total number of iShares ETFs listed on the ASX to 23, across both domestic and international indices. iShares launched its first suite of international ETFs in Australia three years ago.
Details of the new ETFs are as follows:
