What’s up with the iShares IEU ETF (ASX:IEU)?

If you’re looking for an ASX ETF in the International shares sector, chances are, the iShares S&P Europe ETF (ASX: IEU) is an ETF you’re considering. Here’s what you need to know.

How ASX investors can use the IEU ETF

The iShares IEU ETF provides investors with a broad exposure to leading European companies. This is a low-cost way to access a variety of European companies through a single fund.

IEU meets our minimum market cap (FUM) criteria

The iShares IEU ETF had $482.31 million of money invested when we last pulled the monthly numbers. Given IEU’s total funds under management (FUM) figure is over $100 million, the ETF has met our minimum criteria for the total amount of money invested, otherwise known as FUM. We draw the line at $100 million for ETFs in the International shares sector because we believe that relative to smaller ETFs, achieving this amount of FUM de-risks the ETF.

IEU ETF fees explained

iShares charges investors a yearly management fee of 0.6% for the IEU ETF. This means that if you invested $2,000 in IEU for a full year, you could expect to pay management fees of around $12.00.

For context, the average management fee (MER) of all ETFs covered by Best ETFs Australia on our complete list of ASX ETFs is 0.5% or around $10.00 per $2,000 invested. Keep in mind, small changes in fees can make a big difference after 10 or 20 years.
