What are the risks of ETFs?

The primary risks of investing in ETFs come from the investment risk associated with investing in the asset class or strategy that the ETF provides access to.

For example, if you invest in an ETF which provides exposure to the broad Australian sharemarket, then movements up or down in the sharemarket will generally lead to positive or negative investment performance in the ETF. For more information on the risks of a particular ETF, please see the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
