30BB at a glance: strengths and things to watch

πŸ‘ Strengths

  • Nothing stands out against its category.

⚠️ Things to watch

  • Small fund. With $13m under management, it is more at risk of being closed or merged than larger funds, and trading can be thinner.
  • Short track record. Listed in May 2025, so it hasn't been tested through a full market cycle.

Worked out from 30BB's fees, size, flows, returns and trend against the 59 Australian bonds ETFs in Australia, to 30 September 2026. General information, not a recommendation.

Base since 14 Oct 2026

30BB is in a base. Here's why that matters.

30BB's moving averages are tangled and the price is moving sideways. The trend hasn't picked a direction yet.

Why it matters: Bases are where the next big move starts. A breakout can begin a new uptrend, while a breakdown can start a long fall. Buying a satellite before the breakout often means waiting months for nothing to happen.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.

Why no chart? Bond, cash and currency fund prices drop each time a distribution is paid, so a price chart makes them look worse than they are. Check the total returns above instead.
