Are the ISEC and QRE ETFs worth watching in Feb?

It’s time to run a ruler over iShares Enhanced Cash ETF (ASX: ISEC) and BetaShares S&P/ASX 200 Resources Sector ETF (ASX: QRE). The ETFs invest in the Cash – Australian and Australian shares sectors/industries, respectively.

The iShares Enhanced Cash ETF (ASX:ISEC)

The iShares ISEC ETF provides investors with exposure to higher-yielding, short-term money market instruments, including floating rate notes. ISEC seeks to outperform the S&P/ASX Bank Bill Index (before fees and expenses).

According to our most recent data, the ISEC ETF had $306.34 million of money invested. With ISEC’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 Cash – Australian 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 S&P/ASX 200 Resources Sector ETF (ASX:QRE)

The BetaShares QRE ETF provides a targeted exposure to some of the largest companies in the Australian resources sector and aims to track the Solactive Australia Resources Sector Index.

With our numbers for July 2022, QRE’s FUM stood at $111.86 million. Since the QRE’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 QRE ETF fee load?

BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.34% for the QRE ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $6.80.

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.
