The Australian ETF industry seems to be growing faster by the day, and one of the ETFs you might have your eye is the Vaneck S&P/ASX MidCap 50 ETF (ASX: MVE). In this article, we’ll provide a quick review of the MVE ETF.
1. Exposure
The VanEck MVE ETF provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of large Australian companies and is the only ETF tracking the S&P/ASX Midcap 50 Index in Australia. The MVE ETF is designed to capture the performance of the top 50 Australian midcap companies based on market cap, ranking from 51 to 100.
2. Funds under management (FUM)
The Vaneck MVE ETF had $178.98 million of money invested when we last pulled the monthly numbers. Given MVE’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 Australian shares sector because we believe that relative to smaller ETFs, achieving this amount of FUM de-risks the ETF.
3. Management fees & costs matter
Vaneck charges investors a yearly management fee of 0.45% for the MVE ETF. This means that if you invested $2,000 in MVE for a full year, you could expect to pay management fees of around $9.00.
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.
