Earlier this week, we took a look at some ASX 200 blue-chip shares that had a ten-year track record of outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) and returned an average of 10% or more per annum over that period. Today, I thought it was only fair to extend that same courtesy to a pair of ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have managed to up the ante to 15% per annum over a five-year period.
We won't be examining index funds for this list, just ASX ETFs that follow a specific investing strategy or sector. So without further ado, here are two funds that have managed to bag their investors a double-digit return every year on average since August of 2020.
2 ASX ETFs that have delivered 15% or more over five years
BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
This ASX ETF from provider Betashares tracks a global portfolio of companies that are all major players in the cybersecurity industry. It goes without saying that this corner of the world economy has been booming for years as governments, businesses, and individuals grow ever more willing to pay top dollar to protect sensitive information.
This fund holds companies from a wide range of countries, including Canada, Israel, India, and France. However, a majority of its portfolio consists of US stocks such as Broadcom, CrowdStrike Holdings, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet.
As of 31 August, HACK units have returned an average of 18.05% per annum over the preceding five years. That includes unit price growth as well as the value of dividend distributions.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
Next up, we have an ASX ETF from VanEck. The VanEck Wide Moat ETF is a fund that aims to emulate an investing strategy pioneered by the legendary Warren Buffett. It holds a concentrated portfolio of US stocks that all display signs of possessing a wide economic moat.
This concept, coined by Buffett himself, describes an intrinsic competitive advantage that a company can possess, which gives it an enduring edge over competitors. This could be an ability to sell goods or services at the cheapest prices, a powerful brand that attracts customers, or providing a good or service that consumers find difficult to avoid using.
You can see this strategy in action with some of MOAT's current holdings. These include Boeing, Adobe, Caterpillar, Airbnb, and Cadbury-owner Mondelez International.
It seems to be working well for this ASX ETF, too. As of 31 August, investors have enjoyed an average total return of 15.52% per annum over the past five years.
