is the futures hedging worth the offset of the higher fees , on what is essentially a to 200 index fund ?
 
It's been around for at least five years and hasn't done fabulously well from what I have been told.

Betashares seems to be in competition with itself a lot of the time with many tiddlers having very low FUM but high MERs.

Betashares do seem to like quirky niches ( and sometimes so do i )

i wonder if one or two bigger clients specifically ask for such a fund , and Betashares fills that desire and picks up a few retail clients as well later

personally i would prefer GEAR over this one ( i hold neither ) but somebody has seen a benefit , maybe an institution ( like for instance a Super fund )
