The Vanguard FTSE Asia Ex-Japan Shares Index ETF (ASX:VAE)
The Vanguard VAE ETF provides exposure to a portfolio of companies listed in Asia, excluding Japan, Australia and New Zealand. As the ETF is not hedged, investors are also exposed to currency fluctuations.
According to our most recent data, the VAE ETF had $348.81 million of money invested. With VAE’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.

Global X S&P/ASX 300 High Yield Plus ETF (ASX:ZYAU)
The ETFS ZYAU ETF aims to track the S&P/ASX 300 Shareholder Yield Index, and invests in 40 stocks from within that index with the highest shareholder yields.
With our numbers for July 2022, ZYAU’s FUM stood at $71.99 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 Yield/income sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the ZYAU ETF fee load?
Global X, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.35% for the ZYAU ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $7.00.
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.
