What the fee costs you
The management fee is 0.4% a year. Here’s what that works out to in dollars:
A 0.4% yearly fee works out to about $40 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
- iShares
- Asset class
- Global shares
- Number of holdings
- ~100
- Where it invests
- Global, but dominated by the United States — the giant US names sit at the top — with a scattering of large European and other developed-market companies.
- Income paid
- Half-yearly
- 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 very concentrated, blue-chip view of the world: just 100 of the biggest global companies, currently led by the large US technology names like Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft.
What to keep in mind
Holding only 100 companies and leaning heavily on a few US giants, it's more concentrated than a broad world-shares fund, so those top names carry real weight.
How this fund relates to others
Just 100 of the world's biggest companies — a concentrated subset that sits almost entirely inside VGS, BGBL and the other world funds, and overlaps heavily with IVV's largest US names.
