We'll, yes.. but I guess that's the idea behind an exchange traded fund... It would've been the same situation for any "mum &a dad" investors who purchased shares in the state owned enterprises a couple of years ago.. also I don't think they try and hide the fact you have to sell on market.

If you are holding these instruments long term you don't need to worry for many years right?

Anyway, maybe it would be helpful if the NZX focused their retail offerings better. There seems to be an opportunity to align the SuperLife website with Smartshares.
