There is no single right choice between BBUS and GGUS - it depends on your goals, time horizon and existing holdings. The key differences between the two funds are summarised near the top of this page, with the full side-by-side data below.
BBUS and GGUS have approximately 100% estimated holdings overlap (estimated, limited data). This is considered high overlap, estimated from listed top holdings rather than the full constituent lists.
GGUS has the lower management fee. BBUS charges 1.32% per year ($132 per year on a $10,000 investment) and GGUS charges 0.74% per year ($74 per year on a $10,000 investment). The difference is $58 per year per $10,000 invested.
BBUS (Betashares US Equities Strong Bear Currency Hedged Complex ETF) manages approximately $155.73M and GGUS (Betashares Geared US Equities Currency Hedged Complex ETF) manages approximately $412.5M. Fund size can affect liquidity and bid-ask spreads but does not by itself change the management fee.
You can hold both, but with approximately 100% estimated holdings overlap the two funds hold a high proportion of the same companies, so holding both means paying two sets of management fees on largely the same exposure. Whether that suits you depends on your own objectives.
There is no universally right choice. It depends on your goals, time horizon and existing holdings. BBUS charges 1.32% and GGUS charges 0.74%, so GGUS has the lower management fee, and they have approximately 100% estimated holdings overlap. Compare their fees, holdings and sectors above and consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination.
General information only.This comparison and the ETFLens tools on this page provide general information about two exchange-traded funds and do not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. It is not personal financial product or investment advice. ETFLens does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Holdings overlap is calculated from each fund's published holdings (full lists where the issuer publishes one, listed top holdings otherwise), and fee data is sourced from fund manager PDS documents and updated quarterly. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. Consider each fund's Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), and seek advice from a registered tax agent or licensed financial adviser, before making investment decisions.
