    "Sharetrader Back Office has a thread re trying to open up an Aus trading account. As of this moment a kiwi cannot open an Aus trading account; rules have changed.

    I opened a e-trade one today, luckily I still have an ANZ australia account, which made things very easy

    I don't think there needs to be a minimal amount - I started small and grew as finances allowed. There are things to consider, like taxes, foreign exchange, etc, but all in all I find it a good and economical approach.

What's a cost effective method of exchanging NZD to AUD and transferring it an E*Trade account?
    I'm sorry but I can't help - my E*Trade account is with their Hong Kong subsidiary, not the Australian one.

    Vanguard Funds certainly interest me.

    Bit of an update since a couple of new providers have opened up shop recently:

    http://investnow.co.nz/award-winning-managed-funds/

    http://simplicityfunds.kiwi

    Haven't had a chance to look at the details, but fees look attractive for passive vehicles.

    Investnow looks interesting. Similar to the RaboDirect managed funds, except they have a couple of cheap Vanguard funds. Not sure I want to use a company that just suddenly popped up through
