ETFs on GPW — What they are and which funds are available

What is an ETF?

An ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an investment fund listed on a stock exchange that tracks a selected market index. You buy ETF units like stocks — through a brokerage account during trading hours.

ETFs available on GPW

The Warsaw Stock Exchange mainly lists funds from the Beta ETF family managed by AgioFunds TFI:

• Beta ETF WIG20TR — 20 largest Polish companies

• Beta ETF NASDAQ-100 — U.S. technology companies
• Beta ETF DAX — 40 largest German companies
• Beta ETF TBSP — Polish government bonds
• Beta ETF obligacji 6M — short-term bonds

Why are ETFs popular?

1. Low costs — TER from 0.15% to 0.80% annually (vs. 1.5-3% in traditional funds)
2. Diversification — Get the entire index with one purchase
3. Transparency — You know exactly what's in the portfolio
4. Liquidity — Buy and sell like stocks
5. Accessibility — Through any brokerage account, including IKE and IKZE

What to pay attention to?

• TER — Annual management fee
• Tracking difference — How well the ETF tracks the index
• Accumulating vs. distributing — Reinvests dividends or pays them out
• Liquidity — Polish ETFs have lower liquidity than foreign counterparts

Foreign ETFs available through Polish brokers

While not listed on GPW, many brokers (XTB, mBank, DM BOŚ) offer access to ETFs from Xetra, Euronext, or LSE — including popular Vanguard FTSE All-World (VWCE) or iShares Core MSCI World (IWDA).
