Don’t you wonder if now is the time to start analysing the iShares Global High Yield Bond (AUD Hedged) ETF (ASX: IHHY) and BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)? These Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) aim to provide exposure to the Fixed interest – International and International shares sectors, respectively.
Is the IHHY ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The iShares IHHY ETF provides investors with exposure to the performance of high-yield corporate bonds across global markets and sectors, hedged into Australian dollars. This is a simple way to get exposure to high-yield corporate bonds across global developed markets in a single fund.
According to our most recent data, the IHHY ETF had $128.55 million of money invested. With IHHY’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 Fixed interest – International 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.

A quick take of the RBTZ ETF
The BetaShares RBTZ ETF provides investors with exposure to leading global companies involved in the production and utilisation of robotics and artificial intelligence – a rising global trend.
With our numbers for December 2021, RBTZ’s FUM stood at $222.47 million. Since the RBTZ’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 RBTZ ETF bad?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.57% for the RBTZ ETF. Meaning, if you invested $2,000 for a full 12-month period you could expect to pay a base management fee of around $11.40.
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.
