    $590m as at 3 October.

    With a 0.15% management fee they're now earning c$885k per annum, which continues to be commercially viable and hopefully increasing with a growing AuM.

    Interesting to see the ETF appears to have fallen by c4.5% today. I suspect a fat finger error meant a trade went through yesterday at c5% above the market price, and hence today's opening looks like it's down from yesterday but it's actually just that outlier that's causing this.

    @Aidanmc considering your newly created thread, I sincerely hope you started investing in Global ETFs back in May 2024 and that you're not still deciding which investment to buy now?

    $1.49B as at 7 May. This has really taken off now, especially considering the market is down YTD and AUM has nearly doubled.

    I think ACWI (IE00B44Z5B48) is about twice that now they've dropped their fees.

    Thanks, I'll take a look at ACWI.
