Is the YANK ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The BetaShares YANK Fund provides investors with geared exposure to the change in value of the US dollar, relative to the Australian dollar.
According to our most recent data, the YANK ETF had $8.23 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 DGGF ETF
The BetaShares DGGF ETF provides investors with a diversified portfolio of ethical assets, including shares and bonds, by screening out unethical industries and giving preference to sustainable companies.
With our numbers for July 2022, DGGF’s FUM stood at $23.7 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 Ethical sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the DGGF ETF fee load?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.39% for the DGGF ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $7.80.
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.
