It’s time to run a ruler over BetaShares BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP) and Betashares Australia 200 ETF (ASX: A200). The ETFs invest in the International shares and Australian shares sectors/industries, respectively.
The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX:CRYP)
The CRYP ETF tracks the Bitwise Crypto Innovators Index. CRYP does not invest in crypto assets itself but holds shares of ~32 companies, mainly based in the United States.
According to our most recent data, the CRYP ETF had $105 million of money invested. With CRYP’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.

Betashares A200 ETF (ASX:A200)
The Betashares A200 ETF provides exposure to the largest 200 Australian companies, based on market capitalisation. Unlike many other Australian shares ETFs, A200 uses the Solactive Australia 200 Index. This is virtually the same thing as the indices provided by S&P/ASX, as it also uses a market capitalisation weighting.
With our numbers for July 2021, A200’s FUM stood at $1803.97 million. Since the A200’s FUM is over $100 million, our investing team would say the ETF has met our minimum criteria for the total amount invested, otherwise known as FUM. A very sustainable ETF in the Index sector should be able to scale well and become profitable for the ETF issuer.
Are the fees for the A200 ETF bad?
Betashares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.07% for the A200 ETF. Meaning, if you invested $2,000 for a full 12-month period you could expect to pay a base management fee of around $1.40.
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.
