What the fee costs you
The management fee is 0.14% a year. Here’s what that works out to in dollars:
A 0.14% yearly fee works out to about $14 a year per $10,000 invested.
A rough guide based on the headline fee only. Other costs (such as brokerage or buy/sell spreads) aren’t included.
The basics
- Issuer
- Betashares
- Asset class
- Global shares
- Number of holdings
- ~900
- Where it invests
- Developed markets outside the US and Australia — spread across Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada, with no single dominant country.
- Income paid
- At least annually
- Currency hedged
- No — It's unhedged, so for an Australian investor the value also moves with the Australian dollar against foreign currencies, on top of the markets themselves.
Its character
A 'rest of the developed world' building block: it takes the usual world-shares mix and removes the two markets an Australian portfolio most often already holds — the US and home. That leaves it weighted toward Europe, Japan and Canada rather than US big tech.
What to keep in mind
Broadly spread across hundreds of companies and many countries, but by design it excludes the US — so it behaves quite differently from a standard world fund and misses the US market's swings, up and down. It also carries currency movements for an Australian holder.
How this fund relates to others
Built as the mirror image of a US fund: it holds developed markets except the US and Australia, so it has very little overlap with US-focused funds and fills the gap a US-heavy holding leaves.
