Asset managers Invesco and Galaxy will charge investors a 0.25% management fee on its proposed spot ether {{ETH}} exchange-traded fund (ETF) if and when it is rolled out.
This is just slightly higher than VanEck’s 0.20%, which was disclosed last month.
With eight issuers looking to launch an ether ETF at the same time, fees will play a critical role in differentiating a product from the others and appealing to investors. Grayscale’s higher-than-normal 1.5% fee on its bitcoin trust caused it, among other reasons, to bleed billions of dollars while others saw mostly inflows.
Management fees are used by issuers to pay for the maintenance of a fund, such as for marketing costs, salaries and custodial services.
Most issuers for the spot bitcoin ETFs picked a fee between 0.19% and 0.30% which will likely be the case for their ether counterparts.
