Why invest in ETFs with Sharesies?
ETFs offer Australian investors diversified access to entire markets (local or international) in a single trade, with the flexibility to buy and sell throughout the trading day like ordinary shares.
Diversification, done easily
One order spreads your money across hundreds, sometimes thousands, of companies. So if one stumbles, it has less impact on your portfolio than if you’d held it alone.
Fees can stay low
Most ETFs are passively managed, which can help keep ongoing costs down. Less paid in fees means more of your money stays invested. Fees vary by fund, so check each fund’s disclosure documents.
Invest in one move
Invest across a whole market or region in a single order, without needing to pick individual companies yourself.
Before you invest in an ETF, read its prospectus or product disclosure statement to find out what it invests in, and what management fees it charges.

What ETFs cost on Sharesies
When investing in ETFs, Sharesies charges a fee to place the order, and the fund itself charges a management fee. If you need to convert money for the order, a currency exchange fee also applies.
1.9% of the amount invested, up to a cap of $6 AUD for Australian ETFs, $5 USD for US ETFs, and $25 NZD for NZ ETFs—or covered by one of the $5, $10, or $20 monthly plans.
Charged by the fund provider—not Sharesies—and included in the unit price. It’s different for each fund, so check the fund’s disclosure documents before you invest.
0.6% calculated on the amount to exchange, and deducted from the amount you enter. You can exchange money in your Sharesies Wallet any time you like, or during the buy or sell process.

FAQs
A transaction fee of 1.9% of the amount invested (capped at $6 AUD for Australian ETFs, $5 USD for US ETFs, $25 NZD for NZ ETFs, or covered by a monthly plan), and the fund's own management fee, which is set by the fund provider and built into the unit price. A 0.6% currency exchange fee also applies if you need to exchange money.
ETFs trade on an exchange, so their unit price updates throughout the day whenever the market's open. Managed funds are bought directly through the fund provider and generally only price retrospectively—once a day, after the market closes.
There's no fixed order size as Sharesies offers fractional investing—letting you decide how much money to invest.
No—but Sharesies doesn't provide personal financial advice or fund recommendations. If you'd like advice specific to your situation, it's worth speaking with a qualified financial adviser before you invest.
