Is the VIF ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The Vanguard VIF ETF provides investors with exposure to high-quality securities issued by governments from around the world.
According to our most recent data, the VIF ETF had $638.61 million of money invested. With VIF’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.

A quick take of the AUDS ETF
The BetaShares AUDS Fund provides investors with geared exposure to the change in value of the Australian dollar, relative to the US dollar.
With our numbers for July 2022, AUDS’s FUM stood at $8.79 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 Hedge fund sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the AUDS ETF fee load?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 1.38% for the AUDS ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $27.60.
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.
