Is the FAIR ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The BetaShares FAIR ETF provides exposure to the largest Australian shares and focuses on companies which operate ethically. FAIR has been certified by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA), as part of the Responsible Investment Certification Program.
According to our most recent data, the FAIR ETF had $1233.39 million of money invested. With FAIR’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.

A quick take of the IMPQ ETF
The eInvest IMPQ Fund provides actively-managed exposure to Australian and New Zealand-listed small caps. IMPQ also focuses on investing in companies with positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes.
With our numbers for July 2022, IMPQ’s FUM stood at $37.01 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 Active ETF (e.g. ETMF) sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the IMPQ ETF fee load?
Perennial Value/eInvest, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.99% for the IMPQ ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $19.80.
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.
