The BetaShares Australian Strong Bear (Hedge Fund) ETF (ASX:BBOZ)
The BetaShares BBOZ Fund is designed to provide protection from a declining Australian equity market. When the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index falls, BBOZ aims to generate magnified returns for investors.
According to our most recent data, the BBOZ ETF had $270.7 million of money invested. With BBOZ’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 Australian 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.

VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (ASX:GDX)
The VanEck GDX ETF gives investors exposure to companies from around the world which are involved primarily in gold mining.
With our numbers for July 2022, GDX’s FUM stood at $390.44 million. Since the GDX’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 GDX ETF fee load?
VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.53% for the GDX ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $10.60.
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.
