National Australia Bank hopes its veteran trading platform will become “Australia’s home of exchange-traded funds” after signing a memorandum of understanding with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager.
The two financial institutions on Thursday announced they had entered a commercial partnership, under which iShares (BlackRock’s global ETF subsidiary) will develop a new suite of ASX-listed funds and provide educational content for a new “ETF Centre” on the Nabtrade platform.
