CRED and HEUR: 2 ASX ETFs to follow

In this article, we’ll try to explain why the BetaShares Australian Investment Grade Bond ETF (ASX: CRED) and BetaShares Europe ETF – Currency Hedged ETF (ASX: HEUR) are two ASX ETFs worth taking a look at in FY21.

Some things you should know about the CRED ETF

The BetaShares CRED Fund provides investors with exposure to a portfolio a portfolio of investment-grade, fixed-rate Australian corporate bonds.

According to our most recent data, the CRED ETF had $445.81 million of money invested. With CRED’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.

The HEUR ETF – a quick look for savvy investors

The BetaShares HEUR ETF provides investors with exposure to the largest companies from within the Eurozone, while also generating a large portion of their revenues outside the Eurozone.

With our numbers for July 2022, HEUR’s FUM stood at $41.79 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 Index sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.

A look at the HEUR ETF fee load?

BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.56% for the HEUR ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $11.20.

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.
