What to know about the iShares ISO ETF
The iShares ISO ETF provides exposure to 200 small cap Australian shares. This is a low-cost way to access small Australian companies through a single fund.
According to our most recent data, the ISO ETF had $121.13 million of money invested. With ISO’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 Australian 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 VanEck QUAL ETF – key points
The VanEck QUAL ETF gives investors exposure to large companies from developed countries around the world, excluding Australia.
With our numbers for July 2022, QUAL’s FUM stood at $2845.38 million. Since the QUAL’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 Quality factor sector should be able to scale well and become profitable for the ETF issuer.
A look at the QUAL ETF fee load?
VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.4% for the QUAL ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $8.00.
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.
