5 ETFs our customers are loving in 2025

Perhaps it’s their simplicity (they come prepackaged), or maybe it’s the price (you can invest in ETFs with as little as $50). Whatever the reason, ETFs continue to be a popular choice amongst CommSec investors.

Here are the top 5 most-traded ETFs on CommSec in 2025 (as at 28 Feb 2025).

 

 

1. Tech Savvy - BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ)

NDQ is made up of the 100 largest, non-financial companies listed on NASDAQ (top companies include Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA). The outperformance of major tech names in recent years has helped drive the ETF higher.

 

2. Global 100 iShares - Global 100 ETF (IOO)

IOO is comprised of some of the largest conglomerates in the world (top companies include Nestle, Johnson & Johnson, and Amazon). While the ETF invests in 100 companies, it is heavily weighted towards major US technology leaders. This has contributed to the ETF’s strong gains in prior years.

 

3. Aussie Top 200 - iShares Core S&P/ASX 200 ETF (IOZ)

IOZ provides low-cost access to the top 200 ASX listed companies (top companies include Commonwealth Bank of Australia, CSL Limited, and BHP Group).

 

4. Sustainability Leaders - BetaShares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ETHI)

ETHI maintains a portfolio of global stocks known as ‘climate leaders’, focussing on investments with favourable environmental impacts (including Home Depot, Visa, and Toyota). While the ETF’s sector allocation is broad, the lion’s share of funds are invested in information technology, financials, healthcare and consumer discretionary. Roughly 80% of funds are also invested in the United States, which has been an outperformer.

 

5. Aussie Dividends - SPDR S&P/ASX 200 High Dividend Yield Fund (SYI)
