For better readability and to fit within the available screen space, the ETF names on our app may be shorter than their official names. We recognise the importance of providing a user-friendly experience, and shortening the ETF names allows for easier navigation and information viewing on smaller screens.

While the names displayed on the app are shortened for better readability, it is important to note that the ETF tickers remain unchanged.

A few examples of shortened names displayed on the app are shown below; you can see that the shortened names are not much different from the official names, and whenever you use the ETF shortened name, full name, or stickers to search for the ETF on Shares, the app will show you the correct ETF if a match is found.
