The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares (Hedged) ETF (ASX:VGAD)
The Vanguard VGAD ETF provides exposure to listed companies from developed markets around the world excluding Australia. This ETF is hedged to Australian dollars to minimise the impact of currency fluctuations.
According to our most recent data, the VGAD ETF had $1763.08 million of money invested. With VGAD’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 Australia 200 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 2022, A200’s FUM stood at $2280.01 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.
A look at the A200 ETF fee load?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.07% for the A200 ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $1.40.
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.
