On the ASX, the BetaShares Europe ETF – Currency Hedged ETF (ASX: HEUR) and Vaneck Australian Resources ETF (ASX: MVR) might be worth digging into in 2021.
What to know about the BetaShares HEUR ETF
The BetaShares HEUR ETF provides investors with exposure to the largest companies from within the Eurozone, while also generating a large portion of their revenues outside the Eurozone.
According to our most recent data, the HEUR ETF had $50.12 million of money invested. Given its funds under management (also known as FUM or ‘market cap’) is less than $100 million, you should consider if this ETF is still too small and if it is sustainable for the ETF issuer. At Best ETFs we say an ETF with more than $100 million invested is typically more sustainable than one with less than $100 million (at least). However, there are exceptions to this general rule, especially if the ETF issuer/provider is reputable and committed to growing the ETF’s FUM through effective marketing strategies and distribution to financial advisers.

The Vaneck MVR ETF – key points
The VanEck MVR ETF provides focused exposure to the Australian resources sector, which is a significant part of the Australian economy. This is a low-cost way to invest in the Australian resources industry through a single fund.
With our numbers for October 2021, MVR’s FUM stood at $131.53 million. Since the MVR’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 MVR ETF bad?
Vaneck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.35% for the MVR ETF. Meaning, if you invested $2,000 for a full 12-month period you could expect to pay a base management fee of around $7.00.
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.
