@Strawman please correct me if I'm wrong about this, but my understanding @Jimmy is that there are a heap of ETFs/ETPs that are not available here, due to how S&P (Strawman.com's data feed provider) classifies them as Exchange Trades Products (ETPs) instead of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) including a bunch of Global X ETFs/ETPs such as:

• GXAI: Global X Artificial Intelligence ETF
• GXLD: Global X Gold Bullion ETF
• EBTC: Global X Bitcoin ETF
• EETH: Global X Ethereum ETF
• ETPMPM: Global X Physical Precious Metals Basket ETF

• BANK: Global X Australian Bank Credit ETF
• BUGG: Global X Cybersecurity ETF
• DRGN: Global X China Tech ETF

• FHNG: Global X FANG+ Currency Hedged ETF (yet FANG, the one that is NOT currency hedged IS available here)

• USIG: Global X USD Corporate Bond (Currency Hedged) ETF
• USTB: Global X US Treasury Bond (Currency Hedged) ETF

And yet the following Global X ETFs are available here:

• ACDC: Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF

And that's just ETFs and ETPs provided on the ASX by Global X which is owned by Mirae Asset Financial Group, a Seoul-(South Korean)-based global asset manager (you can view the full Global X ETFs list here) . Mirae's Global X division (that provides all of their ETFs) is headquartered in New York.

Then there's VanEck, a private company who provide the following ETFs that are available here on SM: VBTC, QUAL, CLNE, CETF, GDX, MVW, MVE, MVS, CNEW, EBND, CETF, IFRA, REIT, GPEQ, MOAT, EMKT, ESGI, DVDY, GRNV & ESPO, but there are also a bunch on their list that are NOT available here - including DFND.

Then there's BetaShares with ETFs like A200, QOZ, EX20, BBOZ, ASIA, INCM, DHHF, DZZF, DBBF, F100, BGBL, GAME, GEAR, DRUG, BNKS, IIND, HCRD, HJPN, AUST, WRLD, NDQ, HNDQ, QMAX, YMAX, UMAX, ATEC, QFN, QRE, BBUS, USD & GGOV, which ARE all available here on Strawman, however there are others in their full list that are not available.

Then there's iShares, owned by Blackrock, who are the world's largest asset manager. iShares' ETFs that are available here on Strawman.com include IOO, IOZ, IHD, IKO, IJP, IAA, IBAL, IHWL, IWLD, AUMF, MVOL, WDMF, ITEK, GLIN, IHOO, IHHY, ILB, ILC, IGRO, IZZ, IXJ, IHEB, ISO, IGB & IWLD. Their full list can be found here.

And the company that started it all, with the first ETFs, Vanguard have a bunch of ETFs available here like VAS, VLC, VSO, VTS, VEU, VTS, VHY, VAP, VACF, VAF, VGB, VDCO, VDBA, VDGR, VEFI, VETH, VESG, VEQ, VAE, VGE, VBND, VMIN, VVLU, VBLD, VETH & VGAD. However, not all of the ETFs on Vanguard's list of ASX ETFs are in the Strawman.com database, such as VDAL (Vanguard Diversified All Growth Index ETF) and VDIF (Vanguard Diversified Income ETF) just to name two.

And then there's State Street's SPDR ETFs like STW, SSO, SPY, SFY, SLF, DJRE, SYI, QMIX, E200, WEMG, WXHG, WXOZ, WDIV, BOND, GOVT, OZF, & OZR which are all available here. Their full list can be found here. It's a smaller list than the others and they all seem to be available here, unlike the ones from the other providers.

My understanding is that it all depends on how S&P classify the ETF as to whether they provide pricing data for them - if they don't provide pricing, the system here can't include them here. Another one that I like that is NOT available here is PMGOLD, the physical gold ETF run by the Perth Mint and backed (guaranteed) by the WA Government. That one is classified as an Exchange Traded Product rather than a standard ETF because the assets that it holds are not shares in companies but instead are a physical commodity (gold bullion), so not available here because S&P do not provide any price data.

Hope that helps.

That's pretty much it @Bear77, though ive never able to get a clear answer. That's despite having 3 account managers.

Although, it seems every time I try and contact them it's a different set of account managers, and you usually need to email several times and wait a week before you get a generic cut and paste response. Not far off "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Although, the payments department is extremely prompt in sending and following up invoices. They also have a knack for passing on egregious price hikes every opportunity they get.

S&P is everything I hate about large incumbent businesses that have essentially captured the regulators and enjoy an unfair and undeserved moat.

Playing a key role in the near collapse of the global economy in 2008 might have at least weakened their competitive positioning..but no.

Not that I expect to get data for free. It takes time to collate, organise and distribute it. But $20k pa for end of day data, that is only available a good hour or two after market close, and which is often wrong, and for which there is next to zero reliable support is...annoying.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. It's the bane of my existence in terms of Strawman. And yeah, I know there are other providers, but the selection is slim and they're all as bad as each other. In fact, we used to use Morningstar who were even worse.

The issue is there are serious development switching costs. A factor these players understand all too well.

Poor old @Bear77 has heard me recount this sorry tale too often. It's not something members should have to worry about or even know about. But hopefully it helps people understand some of the weird inconsistencies we see here with data.

Anyway, the lesson here is probably buy stock in these bastards :)

Yeah @Strawman there has to be more to it than the ETF/ETP distinction as you can see with that list of Active X ETFs that are unavailable vs those that are available (due to S&P providing pricing data for them) - there is no clear difference between the two groups.

BTW, I have named 6 of the most common ETF providers in my post, plus one less common one (Perth Mint with PMGOLD), but there are probably more - if anyone else knows of other ETF providers - other than those 7 that I mentioned - that provide ASX-listed ETFs, leave a quick comment in this thread and I'll have a look at those also.
