GEAR
Description

GEAR.AX was created on 2014-04-30 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. The ETF currently has 573.07m in AUM and 199 holdings. The Fund aims to provide investors with geared exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian shares as simply as buying any share on the ASX. As the fund is internally geared, investors do not need to take out margin loans and do not have the possibility of margin calls in relation to their investment in the Fund.
