History

Historical Context

The rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) began in 1989 with Index Participation Shares, but it was the 1993 launch of SPDRs that popularized them. By 2015, ETFs had transformed investment strategies, with the Global X FANG+ ETF managing over AUD 1 billion, reflecting the dominance of tech giants like NVIDIA and Apple, which now constitute over 20% of the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF.
