What you're investing in

Your FirstStep portfolio is a diversified mix of exchange traded funds, ETFs for short. ETFs are made up of hundreds of stocks or bonds. We belive the right foundation for a risk-adjusted portfolio is to invest in ETFs, constructed by well-known investment management companies, that often replicate an index like the S&P/ASX 300 Index or the MSCI World Index.

Shares (or equities)

Investing in Shares is like owning parts of a company. Your FirstStep portfolio includes ETFs that holds hundreds of individual shares. If a company performs, their share price may go up, leading to better potential returns for you.

Bonds (or fixed income)

Bonds are a debt investment where an investor loans money to a business or government and gets paid back with interest. Bonds are generally less risky than shares and help diversify your portfolio.
