Some things you should know about the GOLD ETF
The ETFS GOLD ETF provides investors with access to the precious metal of gold, by seeking to achieve a return equivalent to the movements in the gold spot price, before fees and expenses.
According to our most recent data, the GOLD ETF had $2541.51 million of money invested. With GOLD’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 Commodities 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 IWLD ETF – a quick look for savvy investors
The iShares IWLD ETF provides investors with exposure to a globally diversified portfolio of over 3,800 companies. This is a low-cost way to access global companies from developed markets through a single fund.
With our numbers for July 2022, IWLD’s FUM stood at $590.84 million. Since the IWLD’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 IWLD ETF fee load?
iShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.1% for the IWLD ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $2.00.
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.
