BHP was recently in the news as it is in talks with Anglo American of South Africa offering to take over the company for AUD 39 billion.

Performance wise IOZ is just up 0.15% in the past 5 days.  It is down 0.94% year todate but up 5.5% in 2023.   However in the past 5 years IOZ has risen by 17%.

What I like about IOZ is the wide diversification in over 200 companies, across a wide sector of the Australian economy.  IOZ also minimises my risk on single stocks so that should any negative news affect any of them, the impact is less due to the combined strength of the ETF holdings.  IOZ also does the heavy lifting for me in selecting the best performing stocks and leaving out the non performing ones. 

Best of all IOZ pays great regular dividends every 3 months.  IOZ dividends include franking credits for Australian tax residents too. 

Australia is a great country rich with mineral and agricultural resources, good infrastructure as well as a stable government. IOZ is my tactical bet to tap into the best Australian stocks in just 1 ASX Trade!
