Australians looking to grow their wealth continue to turn to exchange traded funds (ETFs) as a key investment vehicle says the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), as it welcomed its 400th ETF with the listing of the Global X S&P Australia GARP ETF (ASX:GRPA).
The size of the market now exceeds AUD300 billion in funds under management (FUM), reflecting the demand in investor appetite for ETFs, the exchange says.
ASX has experienced significant growth in the ETF market, with FUM climbing from AUD219 billion in September 2024 to over AUD300 billion in September 2025, an increase of more than AUD80 billion. Over the past five years, FUM has more than quadrupled, rising from AUD71 billion in 2020.
Notably, the number of ETFs available on the ASX has almost doubled over the last five years, growing from 216 ETFs in September 2020.
The exchange writes that ETFs continue to attract investors and financial advisers seeking simple, cost effective and diversified exposure across equities, bonds, commodities and alternative assets.
Andrew Campion, General Manager, Investment Products & Strategy, says: “The ASX investment product market is not only expanding but accelerating. We’ve seen extraordinary momentum across the Exchange Traded Fund market, and investors are increasingly using ETFs to access a broad range of investment strategies and asset classes from international equities and fixed income through to alternatives.
“What previously took years to achieve is now being realised in just months, driven by increasing investor demand, diversified offerings and strong trading volumes.
“As more Australian investors turn to listed investments, and with ETFs set to play a leading role in the next generation of portfolios, ASX is proud to play a pivotal role in supporting investors to grow their wealth across the country.”
With more than two million Australians now investing in ETFs the demand for diversified, transparent and accessible investment options is showing no signs of slowing, the exchange says.
