It’s time to run a ruler over VanEck Vectors FTSE International Property (Hedged) ETF (ASX: REIT) and ETF Securities ETFS Ultra Short Nasdaq 100 Hedge Fund (ASX: SNAS). The ETFs invest across the International shares sector.
The VanEck REIT ETF (ASX:REIT)
The VanEck Vectors FTSE International Property (Hedged) ETF gives investors exposure to developed international property markets outside of Australia.
According to our most recent data, the REIT ETF had $100.41 million of money invested. With REIT’s total funds under management (FUM) figure over $100 million, the ETF meets our team’s minimum investment criteria for FUM levels. As a general rule, our team draws the line at $100 million for ETFs in the International shares sector because we believe that, relative to smaller ETFs, achieving this amount of FUM lowers the chance that the ETF issuer will close the ETF.

ETFS Ultra Short Nasdaq 100 Hedge Fund (ASX:SNAS)
The ETF Securities Ultra Short Nasdaq 100 Hedge Fund (ASX: SNAS) is an ETF designed for trading, since it provides a negative (or ‘inverse’ or ‘opposite’) exposure to the popular Nasdaq-100 index.
With our numbers for July 2021, SNAS’s FUM stood at $17.49 million. Given it has less than $100 million invested, ask yourself (or your adviser) if the ETF is still too small (and if you should wait to buy into it). If you’re concerned the ETF might not be established enough, compare it alongside one of the other Hedge fund sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
Are the fees for the SNAS ETF bad?
ETF Securities, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 1.00% for the SNAS ETF. Meaning, if you invested $2,000 for a full 12-month period you could expect to pay a base management fee of around $20.00.
The management fee is above the average for all ETFs on our list of ASX ETFs, but keep in mind the ETF may be able to justify the higher price tag with superior performance over time.
