ETFs for Beginners

Jamie Hannah is the Deputy Head of Investments and Capital Markets at VanEck Australia. He currently manages 28 Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s) with more than $9 billion under management. We spoke about 2 VanEck thematic ETFs - Esports and Gaming (ASX:ESPO), and Clean Energy (ASX:CLNE). "There are over 3 billion gamers in the world, generating $180 billion in revenue. The movie industry globally only generated a $100 billion and the music industry around $40 to 50 billion." But he also warns that "Thematics should only be a small portion of anyone's portfolio. You may make some good money out of it, but it should never be the backbone of any long-term planning" because "Long-term wealth is all about long-term investment in good quality companies over a longer period of time."

Clean Energy ETF trades under the code CLNE, and Esports and Gaming is trading under the code ESPO. Find out more at: https://www.vaneck.com.au/
