Completely agree. For someone wanting a simple low cost investment they can drip fee money into from their salary, it is good. More expensive than if you were in the US but cheap compared to the other NZ alternatives.

The question raised here (supplementary question I guess) is at what point does Smartshares get expensive and it best to go direct.
