From the report

A CMC survey of more than 8,500 investors and traders has identified the four most popular ASX exchange-traded funds.

Headline check

The headline claims nothing the report does not, but it puts it more firmly than the report does.

The headline states “revealed” outright. In the report the claim is attributed to somebody, or hedged.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. How this is checked

This is a summary. The indicators are not. Every score on this page was measured over the full 466-word report, which is the only way the numbers mean anything.
