On the ASX, the iShares Core MSCI World All Cap ETF (ASX: IWLD) and Vanguard Australian Corporate Fixed Interest Index ETF (ASX: VACF) might be worth digging into in 2022.
What to know about the iShares IWLD ETF
The iShares IWLD ETF provides investors with exposure to a globally diversified portfolio of over 3,800 companies. This is a low-cost way to access global companies from developed markets through a single fund.
According to our most recent data, the IWLD ETF had $392.11 million of money invested. With IWLD’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 Vanguard VACF ETF – key points
The Vanguard VACF ETF provides exposure to corporate bonds issued by Australia’s largest banks, financial institutions, and property trusts.
With our numbers for December 2021, VACF’s FUM stood at $675.1 million. Since the VACF’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.
A look at the VACF ETF fee load?
Vanguard, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.002 for the VACF ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $4.00.
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.
