The Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS) was the most traded exchange-traded fund (ETF) among investors using the SelfWealth trading platform last month.

The Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF is an index-based ETF that tracks the performance of the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO).

This gives VAS investors exposure to major stocks like BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd (ASX: CBA), CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL), and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES).

ETFs are an increasingly popular investment vehicle for Australian investors.

Value of ASX exchange-traded funds exceeds $200 billion

ASX ETFs now represent more than $200 billion in assets under management, according to ETF provider BetaShares' half-year review.

Co-founder of Betashares, Ilan Israelstam, said: "The ETF industry continues to go from strength to strength, as investors increasingly adopt ETFs to build their portfolios."

One of the benefits of exchange-traded funds is they provide instant diversification in a single trade. 

Let's review the top 10 ETFs traded in June, according to SelfWealth.

Which ETF attracted the most buyer interest?

The iShares S&P 500 AUD ETF attracted the most buy orders among the top 10 most traded ETFs in June.

The iShares S&P 500 ETF is an index-based ETF that tracks the performance of the 500 largest United States companies comprising the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX).

It appears investors remain confident that US shares will continue to outperform the ASX 200.

In FY24, the S&P 500 rose by 22.7% while the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) lifted 7.83% (or 12.1% with dividends included).

The IVV exchange-traded fund is among the 10 cheapest ETFs on the market.

We note that the ninth most traded ETF in June was the GEAR ETF.

GEAR delivered the best three-year returns among ASX ETFs, according to recently published data.
