A300....first thoughts?
Investing Strategy
Hi all, What are people's thoughts on the new ETF A300? Compared to VAS, A200 etc pros/cons? Seems to be a cheaper share price than similar funds to get started. Wondering if this is a good core ETF to invest in for the long term on behalf of my children 🤔 Thanks.

I’m a new investor that’s also looking into A300. This is what I think:
Being a new one, it definitely has a smaller market cap. I didn’t care about it first, but this would make the buy/sell spread larger.
I personally don’t care about the share price being lower.
A300 has both more number of Australian shares and more percentage of them compared to VAS. Their underlying holdings are VERY similar but not the same.
For tax return purposes, this would make A300 a better choice.
For me the decision comes down to: Do I want to have lower spread and liquidity(VAS)? Or do I want lower fees(A300)?
I think the returns would be similar.
