What every ASX investor should know about the XARO ETF

The Australian ETF industry seems to be growing faster by the day, and one of the ETFs you might have your eye is the Fidante Partners Limited ActiveX Ardea Real Outcome Bond Fund (Managed Fund) ETF (ASX: XARO). In this article, we’ll provide a quick review of the XARO ETF.

1. Exposure

The ActiveX Ardea XARO Fund provides investors with exposure to an actively managed portfolio of fixed income products, particularly government bonds, while implementing risk management strategies that aim to provide protection from interest rate fluctuations and general market volatility.

2. Funds under management (FUM)

The Fidante Partners Limited XARO ETF had $424.21 million of money invested when we last pulled the monthly numbers. Given XARO’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 Fixed interest – International sector because we believe that relative to smaller ETFs, achieving this amount of FUM de-risks the ETF.

3. Management fees & costs matter

Fidante Partners Limited charges investors a yearly management fee of 0.50% for the XARO ETF. This means that if you invested $2,000 in XARO for a full year, you could expect to pay management fees of around $10.00.

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.
