Global X ETFs Australia has reduced the management fee on the Global X Australia 300 ETF (A300) to 0.03% per annum, making it the lowest-cost Australian share index ETF available at a time when demand for domestic equities is reaching record levels.

The fee reduction comes as Australian investors continue to embrace low-cost index investing. Broad-based Australian equity ETFs attracted $1.4 billion in net inflows during May, the strongest month on record for the category, highlighting growing demand for simple, diversified investment solutions.

Global X CEO Alex Zaika said the move reflects the changing priorities of Australian investors, with cost playing an increasingly important role in long-term portfolio construction.

"Australian investors are increasingly embracing broad-market ETFs as a core building block of their portfolios," Mr Zaika said.

"With Australian equity ETFs attracting record inflows and investors continuing to favour low-cost index solutions, we believe reducing the fee on A300 is the right move at the right time,” he said.

"Cost matters, particularly when investors are using ETFs as the long-term foundation of their portfolios. Every basis point saved can compound into meaningful value over time, and we're pleased to make broad exposure to Australia's largest companies even more accessible."

The Global X Australia 300 ETF (A300) provides investors with exposure to approximately 300 of Australia's largest listed companies across all major sectors, offering a diversified, core allocation to the domestic share market.

Global X Senior Product and Investment Strategist Marc Jocum said the beginning of the new financial year presents an ideal opportunity for investors to review their portfolios and ensure their core holdings remain fit for purpose.

"Core ETFs are designed to provide broad market exposure and are often the cornerstone of a long-term investment portfolio," Mr Jocum said.

"As investors enter a new financial year, it's a natural time to reassess portfolio allocations, review investment costs and ensure their core exposures continue to align with their long-term objectives,” he said.

"In today's market, investors don't have to compromise between broad diversification and low cost. As ETFs increasingly become the preferred vehicle for core portfolio exposure, keeping investment costs low can make a meaningful difference to long-term returns."

The fee reduction reinforces Global X's commitment to delivering investors cost-effective investment solutions while supporting the growing shift towards ETF investing in Australia.
