How Institutional Investors utilise ETFs listed on Bursa Malaysia
- Where broad market exposure is desired, ETF offers a simplified and low-cost investment option.
- ETF can be used for portfolio construction, where allocation is needed for a certain market or asset class but the investment allocation is relatively small and does not require in-depth analysis and constant monitoring of underlying constituents.
- ETF offers strategic or tactical exposure to certain markets or asset class, allowing institutional investors to make quick entry to and exit from their investment.
- Investments in Ringgit-denominated ETFs allow local institutional investors exposure to foreign market without being limited by the Foreign Exchange restrictions.
