FANGS

Thank you for Peters marvellous article on Fangs.

I nearly always get my dealings in ETFs wrong, so I was wondering if you could suggest a managed leaders fund that specialises in the top 20 or 50 shares that might hold substantial holdings in some, or all, of the nominated companies.

A: Thanks for the comment about Peter’s article.

There probably is an ETF listed on one of the US exchanges that specialises in investing in these companies (and their like), however, I am not aware of what it is.

Locally, you may want to consider an active manger like Magellan.

Have a look at this ASX quoted fund, which trades under the ASX code of MGE (product update attached). I am not sure whether he has positions in these companies, but they do sound like the sort of companies he would consider.

You could also look at a local ETF – the NASDAQ 100 ETF from Betashares. Tracks the NASDAQ 100 index. ASX code is NDQ.

Hope this helps.
