What to know about the VanEck EBND ETF
The VanEck EBND ETF is an actively-managed ETF which provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of bonds and currencies from a range of emerging markets.
According to our most recent data, the EBND ETF had $118.24 million of money invested. With EBND’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 – International 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 IGB ETF – key points
The iShares IGB ETF provides investors with diversified access to Australian government bonds with a broad range of maturities. This is a relatively low-cost way to get exposure to Australian Treasury bonds in a single fund.
With our numbers for July 2022, IGB’s FUM stood at $329.34 million. Since the IGB’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 IGB ETF fee load?
iShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.18% for the IGB ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $3.60.
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.
