What to know about the VanEck EMKT ETF
The VanEck EMKT ETF gives investors exposure to companies across a range of emerging markets. Emerging markets (EM) are markets which are typically associated with higher average returns over 10+ years, but they (typically) come with higher risk, as measured by volatility.
According to our most recent data, the EMKT ETF had $45.51 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 iShares IHHY ETF – key points
The iShares IHHY ETF provides investors with exposure to the performance of high-yield corporate bonds across global markets and sectors, hedged into Australian dollars. This is a simple way to get exposure to high-yield corporate bonds across global developed markets in a single fund.
With our numbers for July 2022, IHHY’s FUM stood at $177.07 million. Since the IHHY’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 IHHY ETF fee load?
iShares, the ETF issuer, charges a yearly management fee of 0.56% for the IHHY ETF. Meaning, if you invest $2,000 for a full year from now you can expect to pay a management fee of around $11.20.
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.
