Is the INCM ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The BetaShares INCM ETF provides investors with exposure to a diversified global portfolio of 100 high-yielding companies (ex-Australia), with a focus on companies that are able to generate sustainable income for investors.
According to our most recent data, the INCM ETF had $20.57 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.

A quick take of the SSO ETF
The SPDR SSO ETF provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of Australian companies and tracks the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index. SSO is designed to capture the performance of the top 200 Australian small companies based on market cap, ranking from 101 to 300.
With our numbers for December 2021, SSO’s FUM stood at $32.85 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 Index sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the SSO ETF fee load?
SPDR, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.005 for the SSO ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $10.00.
This management fee is below the average for all ETFs on our Best ETFs Australia list of ETFs. However, you might still be able to find a cheaper ETF for less.
