Some things you should know about the SLF ETF
The SLF ETF by SPDR invests in shares/securities of listed real estate investment trusts (REITs). Investors can use these property-focused ETFs to get exposure to a broad basket of trusts and companies exposed to property, including office spaces, commercial rental spaces and construction projects.
According to our most recent data, the SLF ETF had $588.51 million of money invested. With SLF’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.

The VVLU ETF – a quick look for savvy investors
The Vanguard VVLU Fund is an actively-managed ETF which invests in small, mid and large-cap companies across global equity markets, focusing on companies which have low prices relative to fundamental measures of value.
With our numbers for July 2022, VVLU’s FUM stood at $567.88 million. Since the VVLU’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 Value sector should be able to scale well and become profitable for the ETF issuer.
A look at the VVLU ETF fee load?
Vanguard, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.29% for the VVLU ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $5.80.
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.
