BetaShares-Are Financials now good value?

November 9, 2016--As has been evident at investor briefings in recent days, Australian banks appear to be conceding that their past relatively high (by global standards) returns on equity can't be sustained, due to pressure on net interest margins and increased capital requirements.

BetaShares Australian ETF Review-October 2016

November 8, 2016--The Australian exchange traded fund industry bucked the trend of broader market declines during October and finished the month valued at a stable $24.1B, which was approximately the same value as September.

The industry stood its ground amongst local and international sharemarket declines to record higher levels of inflows compared to September, with +$629m of new money received.

The market conditions suited short funds with the two BetaShares Strong Bear Hedge Funds (ASX: BBOZ/ BBUS) amongst the best performing exposures for the month, indicating how product innovation in exchange traded products has allowed investors to take a view on the market and profit from, or protect against, falling sharemarkets.
