What to know about the BetaShares WRLD ETF
The BetaShares WRLD ETF provides investors with exposure to an actively managed portfolio of global shares, seeking to reduce volatility and defend against losses in declining markets.
According to our most recent data, the WRLD ETF had $53.43 million of money invested. Given its funds under management (also known as FUM or ‘market cap’) is less than $100 million, you should consider if this ETF is still too small and if it is sustainable for the ETF issuer. At Best ETFs we say an ETF with more than $100 million invested is typically more sustainable than one with less than $100 million (at least). However, there are exceptions to this general rule, especially if the ETF issuer/provider is reputable and committed to growing the ETF’s FUM through effective marketing strategies and distribution to financial advisers.

The VanEck CNEW ETF – key points
The VanEck CNEW ETF provides investors with exposure to Chinese companies primarily from the IT, health care, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors.
With our numbers for July 2022, CNEW’s FUM stood at $114.84 million. Since the CNEW’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 CNEW ETF fee load?
VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.95% for the CNEW ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $19.00.
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.
