Australia’s skilled workforce, robust economy, trusted legal system and stable society make it a top destination for investment. In fact, foreign direct investment in Australia exceeds $735 billion.

Australian Investing Resources are attracted to the country’s highly developed and regulated financial sector, its abundant natural resources, proximity to Asia, diversified economy, and stable political environment. In addition, the government has established strong economic cooperation with other countries and is active in global and regional trade and economic forums.

Australian Investing Resources: Tools & Platforms You Need

As the world’s 13th largest economy, Australia is home to a sophisticated and well-regulated finance sector that offers a range of investments and benefits to investors. Its diversified economy, proximity to Asia and rich natural resources have boosted its attractiveness as an investment destination for domestic and foreign investors alike.

In recent years, Australia has seen significant investment flows from Asia, with Japan, mainland China/Hong Kong and Singapore ranking as the top three sources of FDI. Investment flows from Asia are increasing across a number of sectors, including resource exploration, energy and critical minerals and decarbonisation.

The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is home to a variety of shares, including those listed on the ASX200 Resources Index, which provides investors with access to some of the nation’s biggest resource companies, such as BHP and Rio Tinto. The ASX also lists ETFs that track the resources sector, with one example being the VanEck Australian Resources ETF (MVR), which tracks the MVIS Australia Resources Index – a ‘smart beta’ index. The MVIS Australia Resources Index caps the weight of individual stocks at 8%, which helps to mitigate the impact that one company – such as BHP – can have on performance.
