About this report
Welcome to InvestSMART’s December Quarter 2017 Australian Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) update.
ETFs are the basis of InvestSMART’s Separately Managed Account (SMA) portfolios. The purpose of this report is to provide our clients with an easy to digest wrap of market activity as well as a greater level of insight into how and why we’ve built our SMA portfolios the way we have.
ETFs are a low-cost, hassle-free way for investors to achieve their investment objectives. Whether your aim is to diversify your portfolio or to obtain exposure to a particular asset class or investment theme, the ability to buy ETFs directly on the market, their low cost and transparency has seen the popularity of these securities amongst investors grow rapidly.
We have categorised the ETF market by asset class to allow members to quickly identify suitable securities to fill any investment gaps in their portfolio and remain aligned to their specific investment objectives.

Through our Portfolio Manager, stock research, wealth commentary and affordable investment products, we believe we are delivering the right tools to help all Australians grow and protect their wealth.
InvestSMART Star Rating
When reviewing an ETF there are some key metrics common to every security. Our quantitative 5 Star Rating System takes each of these items into account, reflecting the process we use to identify investments in InvestSMART’s ETF-based Portfolios.
We have categorised the ETF market by asset class to allow members to quickly identify suitable securities to fill any investment gaps in their portfolio and remain aligned to their specific investment objectives.
Figure 2: InvestSMART Star Rating Criteria
Factor | Description |
---|---|
Size | Funds under management. |
Fees | Fund management fees as a percentage of FUM. |
Liquidity | Trading volumes. |
Spread | The average percentage difference between the bid & ask. |
Tracking error | The difference in the return profile of the Fund to its benchmark. |
For our portfolios, we generally like to see a 4 to 5-star rating. This implies the security rates highly across each of the above-mentioned metrics. However, the star rating is best used as a filtering tool when comparing ETFs with the same objective.
It does not make sense to compare a highly liquid, and hence low-cost S&P 500 ETF, to one designed to track the performance of emerging markets, which are often less liquid and more expensive to access.
As the table below shows, only eight Australian ETFs out of the total of 173 listed funds achieve the maximum 5 Star Rating. The bulk of ETFs are rated 3 Stars or less.
It should also be noted that the InvestSMART Star Rating is a quantitative measure and it does not take personal investment objectives into account. It does not constitute a recommendation.

So which ETF is best?
Following our September Quarter ETF report, we had a lot of members asking, “but which ETF is best?”
Determining this is not as simple as looking at a funds performance. As ETFs are passively managed and are constructed to track a given benchmark the performance of an ETF over any given period does not generally indicate it is better or worse than. Rather, it is simply reflective of the performance of the asset class or sector the ETF has been designed to track.
With this in mind, in order to determine which ETF is best for you, an investor must firstly understand how their portfolio is currently positioned. With over 60,000 self-directed investors utilising InvestSMARTs Portfolio Manager, we gather unique insights into the behaviour of a large proportion of Australia’s investing public.
We reviewed the average asset allocation of portfolios and found that most Australians wealth is invested in domestic equities.
Figure 4: Average asset allocation for portfolio sub $250k - 31 December 2017
Source: Information has been collated from de-identified data through InvestSMART’s Portfolio Manager and HealthCheckTM Comparison has been made to a model asset allocation as determined by InvestSMART Group.
We recognise that over the long term no one asset class is guaranteed to deliver substantial outperformance on a consistent basis and that attempting to time turning points across various asset classes is near impossible.
As such, our view on portfolio construction is based on the concept of diversification. Via InvestSMART's Health Check we assist our clients in understanding how their portfolio is currently positioned and whether it is appropriate in achieving their objectives.
If we take the above to be an indication of the ‘average’ Australian portfolio and decided a ‘balanced portfolio’ would be best suited in achieving our investment objective, we’d see that we are overweight domestic equities and would determine the following:
Figure 5: Balanced Asset Allocation
Asset Class | Current Portfolio | Balanced Portfolio | Required Action |
---|---|---|---|
Australian Equities | 72% | 22% | Reduce by 50% |
International Equities | 8% | 22% | Increase by 14% |
Property | 6% | 11% | Increase by 5% |
Cash | 11% | 12% | Increase by 1% |
Fixed Interest | 3% | 33% | Increase by 30% |
Source: Information has been collated from de-identified data through InvestSMART’s Portfolio Manager and HealthCheckTM Comparison has been made to a model asset allocation as determined by InvestSMART Group.
What is ‘best’ for this particular portfolio therefore would be to diversify by re-investing a portion of Equity exposure across Fixed Interest and International Equities. We could then filter through the ETF market to find securities worthy of more detailed analysis. This can be achieved using InvestSMARTs ETF Filtering Tool.
For the Fixed interest component, should we decide we would like Australian Bond Exposure only. To identify these securities we could search for, Asset Class: Fixed income and Cash > Geographic Exposure: Australia > Category: Bonds – Australia.

For the International Equities component, should we decide we would like to focus on large cap, global, broad-based securities. To identify these securities we could search for, Asset Class: Equities > Geographic Exposure: Global > Category: Equity World Large Blend.

After narrowing down the list, we can then conduct further due diligence to determine which security best suits our needs. We will explore the due diligence process next quarter.

The Active vs Passive Debate
As the ETF market grows, there is growing debate surrounding what is better, passive or active investment.
We don’t believe it is a simple black or white consideration. Perhaps to actively engaged investors the concept of a passive fund seems illogical. “Why would I want to invest in something that guarantees benchmark returns?”.
However, for the average person who does not have the time or skill to invest themselves or identify a manager that will ensure they consistently outperform over an extended period, passive strategies could be suitable. Even Warren Buffett has stated that for most investors the best option is to put their money in a low-cost index fund.
Passive investing has its place in building the core of a well-diversified portfolio. Where fees are justified by way of consistent long-term performance, active strategies also have a place within a portfolio in generating alpha (the excess return of an investment relative to the return of a benchmark index).
Figure 8: Passive vs Active Strategies
Where an allocation to passive strategies is suitable | Where an allocation to active strategies is suitable |
---|---|
'Generic' markets where mispricing is uncommon | Markets where mispricing exists |
As the core building blocks to a diversified portfolio | Where a manager shows history of consistent outperformance |
For investors who lack the time or skill to time markets |
Coming back to ETFs and contrary to common belief, no longer are all listed funds simple passive market cap weighted, index hugging securities and there is a growing number of actively managed funds coming to. That is, actively managed funds that you can buy or sell in the same way as any security on the market. These securities are being generally referred to as Exchange Quoted Managed Funds (EQMF) or Exchange Traded Managed Funds (ETMF). Similar to mFunds but actively quoted not just settled on ASX systems.
This growing category of listed fund allows investors to allocate capital toward active managed strategies without the hassle of filling out additional paperwork and with the benefit of knowing the price at which you will be buying or selling units at the time of transaction.

Listed: Benefits to Investors | Listed: Benefits to Fund Managers |
---|---|
No minimum investment barriers | Open ended |
Ability to buy & sell as easily as any other listed security | Reduced paperwork |
Pricing transparency | Available on platforms/wrap accounts |
Intra day pricing rather than end-of-day | Distribute to direct investor |
At present there are 14 actively managed funds listed on the exchange with varying mandates, from those that focus on yield, to small caps, to international equity markets. 2017 saw 5 new actively managed funds come to market and we see this becoming an increasingly common way for fund managers to structure their funds.

When identifying whether a fund is a suitable investment, some things to consider include:
- Cost: As seen in the above table, actively managed funds will generally charge higher fees than passive funds. This is the premium you pay for the managers skill in generating alpha.
- Performance: Elaborating on point 1, does the manager have a track record of consistent performance over longer time frames? Manager skill is worth paying for.
- Investment Objectives: Perhaps the most important consideration is understanding what you are investing in and how it fits as part of achieving your overall investment objective. It is not sensible to simply chase returns without regard to risk.
Given these funds are not intended to simply track their benchmark, we do not currently provide a star rating on them. The InvestSMART Star Rating is a measure designed to compare similar securities across a number of quantifiable metrics - size, costs, liquidity & tracking error. Throughout the analysis, this is denoted by 'Not Rated'.
Market Overview - FUM
The Australian ETF market exceeded expectations of $35bn in Funds under Management (FUM) by calendar year end.
While this has primarily been driven by inflows, strong performance across the traditional ‘risk’ asset classes, Commodities, Equities & Property have added to the FUM growth.

Market Overview - Flows
Fund flow is an interesting metric when analysing the ETF market as it provides insight into ‘net demand’. Given the majority of ETFs are index tracking, that is they are designed to replicate the performance of a given market index or asset class, analysing flows gives an insight into trends in market sentiment toward a given thematic.
Overview
Figure 14: FUM Flows & Turnover
Source: ASX and Morningstar
Equities continue to see the majority of inflows, though the most notable change when compared to previous periods has been in the Fixed Income & Cash category. December was the first time this calendar year that there were net outflows in this category.
While ETFs designed to provide exposure to floating rate securities (FLOT, QPON & HBRD) saw net inflows, BetaShares Australia High Interest Cash ETF (AAA) saw net outflows of $75m during the month of December.
November saw exceptionally large equity market focused inflows with iShares Core S&P ASX 200 ETF (IOZ) making up over a third of this figure.
Figure 15: FUM Flows ($m) by Asset Class

ETFs designed to provide broad based equity exposure saw the largest inflows for the quarter, while BetaShares Dividend Harvesting (HVST), US Dollar (USD) and British Pound (POU) ETFs saw the largest net outflows.

Market Overview - Costs
There are two main components to the total cost of an ETF. The Management Expense Ratio (MER) and the difference between the Bid and the Offer (spread).
Generally speaking, simpler index tracking (passive) funds will have a lower MER than an Actively Managed Fund. This is primarily due to the difference in the objectives of the Fund Manager. While passive funds are designed to deliver returns in line with a benchmark, active funds are managed to outperform them and to do so consistently over long periods of time requires a greater level of oversight, experience and skill.
The spread is generally a function of the liquidity in the underlying securities and transactional costs to acquire them.
Overview
Figure 18: Cost Analysis
Source: ASX and Morningstar
Fixed income & cash remains the cheapest asset class, even after incorporating spreads.
At a security level, broad-based equity market and cash-focussed ETFs are the cheapest, which is reflective of underlying liquidity in these markets.
Geographically, ETFs focused on Australia and the US are, on average, the cheapest.
Per below, index tracking broad based equity and cash exposed ETFs are the cheapest with low MERs and tight spreads, whereas the active and more exotic strategies funds tend to be more expensive.
It should be emphasised though that high fees should not be cause for immediate dismissal when reviewing an ETF. If a particular security is suited to achieving your investment objective, or if in the case of an actively managed fund, long term performance warrants paying a higher fee, then they should be considered.

Market Overview - Performance
A passively managed ETF should closely track its underlying index. Unlike active fund mandates, negative returns do not necessarily mean the fund manager is doing a bad job, but rather reflects the performance of the underlying securities the ETF has been designed to track.
When reviewing an actively managed fund though, cost vs long term performance is an important metric to consider.
Overview
Figure 21: 3, 6 & 12 month performance
Source: ASX and Morningstar
Equities and resources were the standout performers during the period with many securities showing double digit returns for the quarter.
As a result and as would be expected, the ‘bear’ funds (BBOZ, BBUS & BEAR), that is those designed to deliver positive returns when equity markets fall, have performed poorly.
Geographically, ETFs exposed to Asia and emerging markets have delivered strong returns over the past year.Figure 22: Top 5 performing securities

Market Overview - Yield
Yield is the income earned on an investment and is expressed as a percentage. Historically, Fixed income, Property & Infrastructure securities generate most of an investor’s return from distributions of income.
Equities are mixed given a company has the option to distribute profits or retain them to grow, while investments in Commodities and Currency return little to no returns from yield given they are non-income producing assets.
Figure 24: Average historic yield
Source: Morningstar
Overview
As expected, Equities Fixed Income & Cash and Property & Infrastructure continue to provide the greatest income based returns on average.
Geographically, Australia sees the highest returns from income, reflective of our relatively high interest rates and equity pay-out ratios when compared to the rest of the world.
The highest yielding security for the year to December was BetaShares Australian Dividend Harvester (HVST). This fund is specifically aimed to generate regular franked dividend income by investing in large cap Australian shares.

Overview
While BetaShares Currency Hedged Gold Bullion ETF (QAU) saw net outflows for the quarter of $11.6m, ETF Securities Gold ETF (GOLD) saw $11m in net inflows. While it may be coincidental, it may also be reflective of a switch into the lower cost GOLD (0.40% MER) and of a view on the currency as GOLD is unhedged whereas QAU is hedged.
BetaShares Currency Hedged Agriculture ETF (QAG) was the only security of this category to deliver a negative return for the period, while rising oil prices saw BetaShares Oil ETF (OOO) deliver positive returns in excess of 15%.

Overview
USD and POU provide investors with a way to gain exposure to a falling Australian dollar relative to the US Dollar and British Pound respectively and the December quarter saw large outflows in each of these funds. The consensus view is that the AUD will be lower by year end with low expectations of a rate rise in 2018 compared to more hawkish foreign central banks.

Overview
Domestic focused REITs were the best performing category this quarter with MVA, SLF & VAP all delivering returns in excess of 7% for the 3 months to December. Below we list these three securities head to head. It is interesting to note that despite a relatively small pool of potential securities to invest in, there are three ETFs designed to track Domestic REITs. Per below, you can see that each is constructed slightly differently and this will result is slightly different outcomes. It is important to dive deeper into an ETFs construction when selecting one that is right for you.

Overview
Domestic Government Bonds were the best performing of the fixed interest securities over both the quarter and the last 12 months. The majority of inflows were directed to funds exposed to floating rate securities (HBRD, QPON, FLOT) and domestic corporate fixed rate securities (PLUS & VACF).
Vanguard listed a new Hedged Global Bond Fund (VBND) in October which seeks to provide exposure to high-quality, income-generating securities issued by governments, government-owned entities, government-guaranteed entities, investment-grade corporate issues and securitised assets from around the world.
