What to know about the BetaShares DRUG ETF
The BetaShares DRUG ETF provides investors with exposure to leading global healthcare companies, hedged into Australian dollars.
According to our most recent data, the DRUG ETF had $164.04 million of money invested. With DRUG’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.

The iShares IEU ETF – key points
The iShares IEU ETF provides investors with a broad exposure to leading European companies. This is a low-cost way to access a variety of European companies through a single fund.
With our numbers for July 2022, IEU’s FUM stood at $798.41 million. Since the IEU’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 IEU ETF fee load?
iShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.6% for the IEU ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $12.00.
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.
