What to know about the Perth Mint PMGOLD ETF
The Perth Mint PMGOLD ETF represents a right to gold created by The Perth Mint, Australia’s largest fully integrated precious metals enterprise. The ETF gives investors the ability to purchase Government-backed gold via the ASX, rather than holding physical bars themselves.
According to our most recent data, the PMGOLD ETF had $645.25 million of money invested. With PMGOLD’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 Commodities 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 Vanguard VBND ETF – key points
The Vanguard VBND ETF provides investors with exposure to government debt and investment-grade corporate debt from developed markets around the world.
With our numbers for July 2022, VBND’s FUM stood at $489.11 million. Since the VBND’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 VBND ETF fee load?
Vanguard, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.2% for the VBND ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $4.00.
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.
