On the ASX, the iShares S&P Global 100 ETF (ASX: IOO) and VanEck Vectors Australian Subordinated Debt ETF (ASX: SUBD) might be worth digging into in 2020.
What to know about the iShares IOO ETF
The iShares IOO ETF provides investors with exposure to 100 leading, multi-national companies across global share markets. This is a low-cost way to access a variety of global companies through a single fund.
According to our most recent data, the IOO ETF had $1814.27 million of money invested. With IOO’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 International 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 VanEck SUBD ETF – key points
The VanEck SUBD ETF invests in a portfolio of Australian dollar-denominated subordinated bonds from a range of banks and insurance companies.
With our numbers for Oct 2020, SUBD’s FUM stood at $120.43 million. Since the SUBD’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.
Are the fees for the SUBD ETF bad?
VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.29% for the SUBD ETF. Meaning, if you invested $2,000 for a full 12-month period you could expect to pay a base 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.
