On the ASX, the BetaShares Geared US Equity Fund Currency Hedged (Hedge Fund) ETF (ASX: GGUS) and BetaShares Crude Oil Index ETF-Currency Hedged (Synthetic) ETF (ASX: OOO) might be worth digging into in 2022.
What to know about the BetaShares GGUS ETF
The BetaShares GGUS Fund is an internally geared fund, investing in the largest 500 US-listed companies by market capitalisation.
According to our most recent data, the GGUS ETF had $138.52 million of money invested. With GGUS’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.

The BetaShares OOO ETF – key points
The BetaShares OOO ETF provides investors with exposure to crude oil futures, hedged into Australian dollars.
With our numbers for December 2021, OOO’s FUM stood at $207.84 million. Since the OOO’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.
A look at the OOO ETF fee load?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.0129 for the OOO ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $25.80.
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.
