Why Buy an ETF?

In a Single Transaction, Diversify Your Portfolio
When you buy an ETF, you buy an exposure in a basket of securities without the costs of having to buy all the underlying securities yourself. Because there are many securities in the underlying portfolio, you can participate in the gains experienced by any of them. At the same time, you will be shielded from sudden drops in any one security because any one security represents only part of the total portfolio. In short, volatility of your investment is reduced, compared to individual securities, making it a more secure form of investment.

Information about your Investment is Transparent
Since prices of ETFs are distributed in the same manner as trading prices for other securities listed on the Bursa Malaysia, you always know the value of your holdings.
For index tracking ETFs, because the list of securities which comprise the index is public information, you always know what you are investing in when you decide to buy units.

The Minimum Investment Needed is Low
Because ETFs are traded in board lots, you can trade as little as the minimum board lot size set by the exchange, yet gain exposure to the full range of securities held by the fund. On the Bursa Malaysia, the minimum board lot is 100 units.

You Can Trade It Anytime
Unlike traditional unit trusts, an ETF can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. Any registered broker or remisier can handle your transaction; if you already have an account for ordinary stock trading, you can use the same account to trade ETFs. When it comes to executing your order on the exchange, many ETFs have market-makers who act as counterparties to buyers and sellers in trading, so your transaction will go through faster.
