Is AGGG a good ETF?
AGGG is the iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond (AUD Hedged) ETF from iShares. We classify it under Bonds and Intl. With about $1 million in assets it is a relatively small fund (worth checking spreads and liquidity before buying).
The management fee of 0.18% is reasonable. That's cheaper than the typical 0.45% for similar ETFs.
Strengths
- Low-cost: a 0.18% management fee keeps more of the return in your pocket.
