Can the TECH and AGVT ETFs be part of an ASX ETF portfolio?

On the ASX, the ETF Securities Morningstar Global Technology ETF (ASX: TECH) and BetaShares Australian Government Bond ETF (ASX: AGVT) might be worth digging into in 2022.

What to know about the ETF Securities TECH ETF

The ETFS TECH ETF provides investors with exposure to the performance of shares in around 30 undervalued competitively-advantaged global technology businesses. Think global social media companies, online or cloud-based platforms, leaders in artificial intelligence, software creators and digital advertisers.

According to our most recent data, the TECH ETF had $395.46 million of money invested. With TECH’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 BetaShares AGVT ETF – key points

The BetaShares AGVT ETF provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of high-quality bonds issued by Australian federal and state governments, supranational banks and sovereign agencies.

With our numbers for December 2021, AGVT’s FUM stood at $199.79 million. Since the AGVT’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 AGVT ETF fee load?

BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.22% for the AGVT ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $4.40.

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.
