Is the VDHG ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…
The Vanguard VDHG ETF provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of other Vanguard funds. Meaning, since the VDHG ETF invests in other shares, bond or cash ETFs, it gives you exposure to multiple asset classes with a single investment. In this way, VDHG is designed to be a diversified portfolio by itself.
According to our most recent data, the VDHG ETF had $1737.58 million of money invested. With VDHG’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 Diversified ETF 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.

A quick take of the ESPO ETF
The ESPO ETF invests in the world’s largest companies involved in global video game development, eSports, related hardware, and software by aiming to track the performance of the MVIS Global Video Gaming and eSports Index.
With our numbers for July 2022, ESPO’s FUM stood at $79.85 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 Growth factor sector ETFs, using our full list of ETFs.
A look at the ESPO ETF fee load?
VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.55% for the ESPO ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $11.00.
The management fee is above the average for all ETFs on our list of ASX ETFs, but keep in mind the ETF may be able to justify the higher price tag with superior performance over time.
