ETF Securities expects the increase in demand from financial advisers for direct equity investments to benefit its exchange-traded commodity (ETC) range.
"Now that independent financial advisers are moving away from trail commissions and fund providers this industry is starting to get some traction down here," ETF Securities head of sales Nigel Phelan said.
Platform providers have often limited direct equities on their approved lists, Phelan said, and the addition of ETCs could therefore spark interest from advisers.
The company's precious metal ETCs, including gold, silver, platinum and palladium ETCs, received recommended ratings from Aegis Equities Research yesterday.
Last month, the products received a similar rating from Zenith Investment Partners and these ratings have cleared the way for a platform listing.
"I'm talking to several platforms at the moment tied to the Zenith research and they are going through the due diligence," Phelan said. "We're expecting to see a pick up from the Aegis research as well."
ETF Securities expected its products to be listed on several major platforms shortly.
"Some of these guys have final checks going on over the next few weeks," Phelan said.
ETF Securities said earlier that it expects its Australian gold ETC to grow to $2 billion from the current $530 million market capitalisation over the next year.
