IOOF introduces ETFs to Pursuit Select platform
IOOF has further improved on its Pursuit Select platform with the addition of domestic and international exchange traded funds (ETFs).
IOOF head of product Nick Everingham said the additions to the platform were a result of the recent growth in ETFs and adviser demand.
“ETFs are just another way for advisers to provide diversification in a client’s portfolio in a cost-efficient manner,” he said.
“Advisers and their clients will be able to access the underlying performance of the ASX top 50, 200 and listed property indexes as well as the global 100, Asia 50 and emerging markets strategies offered by BlackRock and State Street.”
IOOF previously made direct shares available through its Pursuit Select super, pension and investment products.
