Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
At 99%, owning both GGBL and WRLD would mostly double up on the same investments rather than spread your money further. Of these, BGBL has the lowest fee, at 0.08% a year against 0.35% for GGBL.
How is Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
It is also geared: it borrows to magnify returns, so gains and losses are larger than the market's.
What will I pay in fees for GGBL?
GGBL charges a management fee of 0.35% a year, about $35 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 58% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among equity funds, the median is 0.90%.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.12% for GGBL.
Does Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF follow a theme?
No. Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Global ex-Australia) rather than one theme or sector. Its largest sector, Information Technology, is 30.8% of the fund.
What is under the hood of GGBL?
As at 2 Sept 2026, GGBL's largest holding is Betashares Global Shares ETF (150.7%). Some holdings are other ETFs, which we look through to their own holdings when measuring exposure and overlap.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for GGBL's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 29.3% compares with 25.7% for similar funds.
How well has Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares WealthBuilder Global Geared Complex ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 6.3% over 1 year (median 1.4%; ranked 4 of 13). The medians and rankings compare it with equity funds. Since listing in 2025 it has returned 10.7% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for GGBL; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.35% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
