On the ASX, the SPDR S&P Global Dividend Fund ETF (ASX: WDIV) and ETF Securities Physical Palladium ETF (ASX: ETPMPD) might be worth digging into in 2022.
What to know about the SPDR WDIV ETF
WDIV invests in shares of global companies that have a strong track record for paying dividends to their investors (i.e. they have paid a dividend for at least 10 years in a row).
According to our most recent data, the WDIV ETF had $350.39 million of money invested. With WDIV’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 ETF Securities ETPMPD ETF – key points
The ETFS ETPMPM ETF provides investors with access to the precious metal of palladium, by seeking to achieve a return equivalent to the movements in the palladium spot price, before fees and expenses. Palladium comes from the same family of metals as platinum and is used in many electronic and industrial products, particularly in the automotive industry.
With our numbers for December 2021, ETPMPD’s FUM stood at $8.76 million. Given it has less than $100 million invested, ask yourself (or your adviser) if the ETF is still too small (and if you should wait to buy into it). If you’re concerned the ETF might not be established enough, compare it alongside one of the other Index sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the ETPMPD ETF fee load?
ETF Securities, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.0049 for the ETPMPD ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $9.80.
