Lonsec recommends BetaShares fund
Ratings agency, Lonsec, has ‘recommended' exchange traded fund (ETF) provider, BetaShares' Managed Risk Australian Share Fund (AUST).
In its review, Lonsec noted the fund provided investors with an efficient way of accessing the domestic equities market, in a risk-controlled manner.
BetaShares managing director, Alex Vynokur, said the rating reflected the fund's ability to provide investors with a cost-effective exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian shares, while adopting a strategy designed to reduce volatility and defend against losses in declining markets.
"We are pleased to receive independent recognition of AUST's investment strategy," he said.
"Particularly in a low interest rate environment, investors may be attracted to the potential performance of shares, yet concerned about the impact of volatility and potential losses when markets fall."
