Low cost index funds other than eMaxis

[ToushiTime]

Hi what are the other low-cost index funds other than those in the eMaxis series?

I have some eMaxis funds but was wondering what the competition is...

These ones?

Daiwa iFree
Nikko Tracers
Nissay

Any others?

Thanks.
I'm looking for global, developed, developing index funds.
Most people on here seem to recommend eMaxis.
According to that link and the other comment above, Tawara No-Load sounds like another option.
I'll stay clear of the wraps due to the triple taxation issue.

so the list of index fund series I have found so far is

eMaxis:
Tawara No-Load:
Nikko Tracers
Daiwa iFree
Nissay

I guess you just judge each by the costs, and costs alone?

Yeah, just bear in mind Tawara's global fund is 200 times smaller than eMaxis slim's, even though it's only a a year younger (as far as I understand).

What does this mean in practical terms?
More risk that the fund management company may cancel it?

[ToushiTime]

Damn, I hadn't thought of that.

I "second" Beanhead's question.

Edit: I removed my other question as the premise was wrong.

Damn, I hadn't thought of that.

I "second" Beanhead's question and add another

1) Do smaller funds have greater risk of cancellation?

2) Does that mean we wave goodbye to that chunk of NISA tax exemption, i.e. would a termination of the fund count as a sale by us?

Risk of closure is not very large for conventional index trackers, more so for niche index etfs , sector etfs, themed etfs etc

Look at Vanguard, with more customers you can achieve lower fees and tighter margins, you can more closely track an index.

However, this is only an advantage for trackers of large, liquid stocks.

Size is a disadvantage for other trackers of less liquid stocks.
