I found this Australian broker Selfwealth owned by Syfe (Singapore):
Transactions cost ~10 AUD flat, no custody, etc. fees. ASX shares (ETFs) held in your name through CHESS. Syfe says you can open as a foreigner abroad (link). Also they claim to accept Wise and Revolut (link).
Alternatively, this start up which specifically also markets itself to foreigners abroad:
But they are a robo advisor, with the expected medium management fees (e.g. 0.6% at below 10’000 AUD). Also you can’t freely choose your ETFs.
Wikipedia has a list with the biggest ETFs listed on ASX for some reason, but it is not up to date. Careful, some of them are wrappers for a US ETF (e.g. ASX:VEU wraps NYSE:VEU).
Strong candidates would be:
- EXUS (Solactive Developed ex-US ex-AU, Betashares)
- VAE (FTSE Asia ex-JP ex-AU ex-NZ, Vanguard)
- BEMG (MSCI EM, Betashares)
Betashares is Australian.
