The Betashares Australian Strong Bear (Hedge Fund) ETF (ASX: BBOZ) could be one to watch in June and in this short article, we’ll run through arguably the three most important factors to consider when you’re reviewing an ASX ETF.
What the Betashares BBOZ ETF actually does
The BetaShares BBOZ Fund is designed to provide protection from a declining Australian equity market. When the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index falls, BBOZ aims to generate magnified returns for investors.
BBOZ meets our minimum FUM criteria
The Betashares BBOZ ETF had $337.64 million of money invested when we last pulled the monthly numbers. Given BBOZ’s total funds under management (FUM) figure is over $100 million, the ETF has met our minimum criteria for the total amount of money invested, otherwise known as FUM. We draw the line at $100 million for ETFs in the Australian shares sector because we believe that relative to smaller ETFs, achieving this amount of FUM de-risks the ETF.
Don’t forget BBOZ’s fees
Betashares charges investors a yearly management fee of 1.38% for the BBOZ ETF. This means that if you invested $2,000 in BBOZ for a full year, you could expect to pay management fees of around $27.60.
For context, the average management fee (MER) of all ETFs covered by Best ETFs Australia on our complete list of ASX ETFs is 0.5% or around $10.00 per $2,000 invested. Keep in mind, small changes in fees can make a big difference after 10 or 20 years.
