About Smartshares Smartshares is the pioneer of ETFs in New Zealand, launching the first ETF (TNZ - the NZ Top 10 Fund) in 1996.

The Special Division of the New Zealand Markets Disciplinary Tribunal regulates Smartshares in a similar way to NZX Regulation’s regulation of other listed issuers. Smartshares funds are listed on NZX so you can buy or sell them just like individual shares. The listed funds are designed to “track” (or, in some cases, outperform) an index. Each Smartshares ETF is designed to provide investors with similar returns to a direct investment in all the securities that make up the ETF.
