Hi, I’m very new at investment and I’m a little bit confused with the announcement from BlackRock Investment Management re the split of IVV shares. Are we supposed to do something? IVV will now change to IVVDB?

Stock split IVV

Hi, I’m fairly new to investing and this is a dumb question but what is the difference when investing in the AU shares vs US shares tab? 
Is it that the AU shares are funds held by brokers in Aus and the US one is US brokers? Is there a better option for an Aus investor? What are the tax implications of investing in US EFTs over Aus ones? 
Thanks, Molly

AU vs US shares

I am looking at transferring some AU shares from Sharesies to Pearler.
Not all of them, just some.
I can’t seem to find Sharesies on your broker list.
Please advise.
