BetaShares is one of Australia's largest ETF issuers, by the number of ETFs issued on the ASX and total funds under management (FUM).
BetaShares was founded in Sydney by a group of finance professionals who have a venture capital (VC) business called Apex Capital Partners. BetaShares was an 'in house' investment for Apex but grew quickly as ETFs took off.
BetaShares launched its first ETF in 2010 but has grown its ETF count rapidly to have more than 50 ETFs in the market today.
BetaShares has issued index fund ETFs, rules-based ETFs and actively managed funds in an ETF wrapper. To launch its active funds, BetaShares teamed up with Legg Mason and AMP.
Betashares was part-owned by Mirae Asset Global Investment Group, a specialist ETF business. As of 2022, a subsidiary of Mirae, called Global X, bought Betashares' competitor, ETF Securities, which is now being rebranded to Global X and will (likely) seek to take on Betashares.
Right now, there are 200+ ETFs on the ASX. Then there are index funds. Hundreds of managed funds. LICs. REITs. And everything in between. Wouldn’t it be nice to make ONE investment and build the strong Core of your portfolio — with just one click?
