Smart brings bitcoin, gold, and more to the NZX
What do Bitcoin and gold have in common? What’s a “core-and-explore” portfolio? Are you better off investing in global assets via the NZX, instead of an international exchange?

From Bitcoin's transformation from a fringe digital currency to a mainstream ETF investment, to gold's enduring status as the "original Bitcoin," Anna explains how Smart are making complex investments accessible to everyday investors.
We learn why Smart has chosen to list these exchange-traded funds now, and how they’re partnering with iShares owner BlackRock, the world’s largest investment company.
