Is the IHOO ETF worth watching in December?

If you’re considering getting exposure to the International shares sector, the iShares Global 100 AUD Hedged ETF (ASX: IHOO) might be one ASX ETF to watch in December.

How the IHOO ETF fits into an ASX portfolio

The iShares IHOO ETF provides investors with exposure to the largest 100 global companies. This is a low-cost way to access a variety of global companies through a single fund.

IHOO ETF is not yet at our $100m minimum FUM level

The iShares IHOO ETF had $91.11 million of money invested when we last pulled the monthly numbers. With a funds under management (FUM) or ‘market cap’ figure of less than $100 million, it’s important to consider if this ETF is still too small.

We say an ETF with more than $100 million invested is typically more sustainable than one with less than $100 million (at least). This is because if an ETF is too small, it may not be sustainable for an ETF issuer/provider, such as iShares, to continue to operate it.

That said, there are exceptions to this rule of thumb, especially if the ETF issuer is committed to growing the ETF’s FUM to the point where it becomes profitable.

What about management fees and costs?

iShares charges investors a yearly management fee of 0.43% for the IHOO ETF. This means that if you invested $2,000 in IHOO for a full year, you could expect to pay management fees of around $8.60.

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.
