What to know about the Vanguard VDCO ETF
The Vanguard VDCO ETF provides investors with exposure to a portfolio of other Vanguard funds/ETFs. Meaning, it’s an ETF which invests only in other funds/ETFs — in this case, it only invests in funds managed by its own provider, Vanguard. This ETF gives investors exposure to multiple asset classes with a single purchase, and is designed to be a diversified portfolio in itself.
According to our most recent data, the VDCO ETF had $235.57 million of money invested. With VDCO’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.

The BetaShares HNDQ ETF – key points
The BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF invests in 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange (i.e. the USA). This is the currency hedge version of the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ).
With our numbers for July 2022, HNDQ’s FUM stood at $139.51 million. Since the HNDQ’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 HNDQ ETF fee load?
BetaShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.51% for the HNDQ ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $10.20.
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.
