- Data
- The ASX Investment Products report, published each month and dated to the month's last day: each fund's management fee, money invested and average bid/ask spread as the ASX files them. A fee change is dated to the report that first shows it; a fee that moves and moves back a report later is a filing slip and is left out.
- Like for like
- Each fee list holds funds that buy one market, the leaderboard's own rules: no active funds, which don't buy the index, and no complex products (geared, short or built on derivatives). Money invested moves with the market as well as with money put in or taken out.
- Scope
- ETFs on the ASX that BankMate tracks. Editions before October 2026 hold only the funds still listed at the end of September 2026, so a fund that closed before then isn't in them. Methodology · Today's leaderboard
