What the fee costs you
The management fee is 0.3% a year. Here’s what that works out to in dollars:
A 0.3% yearly fee works out to about $30 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.

Its character
A global-shares fund tilted to higher dividend payers, so its mix of companies and sectors differs from a broad world fund — leaning toward established, income-paying businesses rather than the big growth names.
What to keep in mind
Spread globally, but the dividend tilt narrows the field and changes its sector mix; it carries currency movements for an Australian holder.
