Best ETFs Australia quick review: SUBD and WRLD

Don’t you wonder if now is the time to start analysing the VanEck Vectors Australian Subordinated Debt ETF (ASX: SUBD) and BetaShares Managed Risk Global Share Fund (Managed Fund) ETF (ASX: WRLD)? These Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) aim to provide exposure to the Fixed interest – Australia and International shares sectors, respectively.

Is the SUBD ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…

The VanEck SUBD ETF invests in a portfolio of Australian dollar-denominated subordinated bonds from a range of banks and insurance companies.

According to our most recent data, the SUBD ETF had $257.73 million of money invested. With SUBD’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 Fixed interest – Australia 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.

A quick take of the WRLD ETF

The BetaShares WRLD ETF provides investors with exposure to an actively managed portfolio of global shares, seeking to reduce volatility and defend against losses in declining markets.

With our numbers for July 2022, WRLD’s FUM stood at $53.43 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 Hedge fund sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.

A look at the WRLD ETF fee load?

BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.54% for the WRLD ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $10.80.

The management fee is above the average for all ETFs on our list of ASX ETFs, but keep in mind the ETF may be able to justify the higher price tag with superior performance over time.
