About GVAL

GVAL is a new international shares ETF from Betashares, listed on the ASX on 30 October 2026. Global shares chosen and weighted by fundamental value measures rather than company size.

At the end of October 2026 it held $10m, including $10m of new money in its first weeks. Source: ASX monthly investment products report.

The management fee is 0.35% a year, about $35 on every $10,000 invested, cheaper than the typical international shares ETF at 0.55%. It listed after our latest data (30 September 2026), so its size, flows and returns will appear once it's in the next TMX Australia funds report.

Is GVAL in a base or a trend?

GVAL doesn't have enough price history yet (about 11 months) for a reliable trend reading, or it is a cash-like fund whose price barely moves.

Why it matters: Every ETF moves between bases and trends. Knowing which stage it is in helps decide when to buy a satellite, and when to wait.

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? This ETF does not have a reliable 12-month price history yet.
