What you can invest in
01
Shares
Listed companies on major markets internationally — North America, Europe and the UK, Asia-Pacific and Australia.
02
ETFs
Exchange-traded funds covering indices, sectors, regions, commodities and bonds. A straightforward way to hold a spread of assets in a single trade.
03
Bonds
Government and corporate fixed income, Australian and international.
04
Managed funds
Professionally managed pooled investments, across a wide range of strategies and managers.
05
Exchange-traded options
Listed contracts that give the right to buy or sell an asset at a set price. Used to protect a holding against a fall, or to generate income from one.
06
Futures
Listed contracts to buy or sell an asset at a set price on a future date — on share indices, commodities, interest rates and currencies.
07
Currencies
Foreign exchange, whether you're funding an international purchase or hedging the currency risk on an overseas holding.
08
Margin lending
Borrowing to invest, secured against your existing portfolio, arranged with third-party lenders.
What you can do with it
Each of these carries risk, described on our What You Can Invest In page. Options, futures and margin lending can lose you more than you put in.
01
Build a portfolio that isn't limited to one country.
The ASX is about two per cent of global market capitalisation. Investing internationally means access to industries and companies that simply aren't listed here — but it brings market access, currency, settlement and custody problems with it. That's the part we handle.
02
Manage currency, deliberately.
If you hold US shares, you hold US dollars whether you meant to or not. Foreign exchange contracts let you decide how much of that exposure you want, instead of taking it by accident.
03
Protect a position, or generate income from one.
Exchange-traded options let you set a floor under a holding you don't want to sell, or earn a premium from one you're comfortable parting with at a certain price.
04
Borrow against what you already hold.
Margin lending facilities, arranged with third-party lenders, let you invest beyond your cash — which magnifies losses as readily as gains.
What we don't do
Just as important as what we do.
No CFDs.
We don't offer contracts for difference.
No cryptocurrency.
No personal advice.
We explain how investments work — we don't tell you which ones suit your circumstances. That takes an adviser licensed to give personal advice, and we'll say so rather than blur the line.
No discretionary management.
We don't trade your account at our own initiative. Nothing moves without your instruction.
