'Build An ETF' Shortlist & Winner Announ...

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

As part of the launch of our Get Started Investing: ETFs For Beginners series, we held a 'Build An ETF' competition. The rules were simple: submit an idea for an ETF that is unique, has room for growth and would be appealing to investors.

We were flooded with entries of all sorts, covering everything from sport, retail, sustainability to alternative assets and sin stocks!

We created a shortlist of our favourites, and in this episode we announce some of them, and finish by announcing the winner, who will take home $1000!

Make sure you listen to Get Started Investing: ETFs For Beginners. We've teamed up with the experts at BetaShares to create 3 episodes that cover everything you need to know about ETFs when you're starting your investing journey.
