IOO questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is iShares Global 100 ETF?
The issuer of iShares Global 100 ETF doesn't publish its holdings in a form we can read, so we can't measure how diversified it is. It is classed as equity with a Global ex-Australia focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.
Which ETFs does IOO double up with most?
No other ASX fund shares more than 10% of its holdings with IOO, but its returns move most closely with Vanguard Ethically Conscious International Shares Index ETF (VESG) (correlation 0.94), iShares S&P 500 ETF (IVV) (correlation 0.93) and Betashares Global Shares ETF (BGBL) (correlation 0.92). A correlation near 1 means the two funds tend to rise and fall together, so holding both adds little diversification.
How is iShares Global 100 ETF managed – active or passive?
iShares Global 100 ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for IOO?
IOO charges a management fee of 0.40% a year, about $40 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 51% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (VGS) at 0.18%, Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares (Hedged) ETF (VGAD) at 0.21% and Dimensional Global Core Equity Trust (Unhedged Class) - Active ETF (DGCE) at 0.30%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Vinva Global Alpha Fund - Active ETF (V1AC) at 1.35% and Hyperion Global Growth Companies Fund - Active ETF (HYGG) at 0.70% cost more.
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 0.03% for IOO.
Does iShares Global 100 ETF follow a theme?
No. iShares Global 100 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.
What is under the hood of IOO?
As at 2 Sept 2026, IOO's largest holding is Ishares Global 100 ETF Trust (100.0%).
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 IOO's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 0.0% compares with 36.4% for similar funds.
How well has iShares Global 100 ETF performed?
Based on its category, iShares Global 100 ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 10.4% over 1 year (median 6.3%; ranked 40 of 121), 22.1% a year over 3 years (median 16.5% a year; ranked 11 of 82) and 16.8% a year over 5 years (median 9.2% a year; ranked 5 of 66). The medians and rankings compare it with Global ex-Australia equity funds. Since listing in 2009 it has returned 9.8% 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 IOO; 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 0.40% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
