Best ETFs Australia quick review: ATEC and FLOT

Don’t you wonder if now is the time to start analysing the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC) and VanEck Vectors Australian Floating Rate ETF (ASX: FLOT)? These Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) aim to provide exposure to the Australian shares and Fixed interest – Australia sectors, respectively.

Is the ATEC ETF a good investment? Here’s where you start…

The BetaShares ATEC ETF provides exposure to the top Australian technology companies that are listed on the ASX. This is a low-cost way to access the Australian technology sector through a single fund.

According to our most recent data, the ATEC ETF had $151.18 million of money invested. With ATEC’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 Australian 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.

A quick take of the FLOT ETF

The VanEck FLOT ETF gives investors exposure to a portfolio of Australian dollar-denominated floating rate bonds of investment-grade quality.

With our numbers for July 2022, FLOT’s FUM stood at $386.7 million. Since the FLOT’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 FLOT ETF fee load?

VanEck, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.22% for the FLOT 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.
