Australian Top 20 Equities Yield Maximiser Complex ETF
Australian Top 20 Equities Yield Maximiser Complex ETF
YMAX
Generate enhanced income from Australian blue chip companies
Overview
Notice: Change in distribution frequency
Effective from January 2026, the intended distribution frequency of the Fund has been amended from quarterly to monthly. Fund objective YMAX aims to generate attractive monthly income and reduce the volatility of portfolio returns by implementing an equity income investment strategy over a portfolio of the 20 largest blue-chip shares listed on the ASX. YMAX does not aim to track an index.
Benefits
Attractive monthly income
Earn monthly income (including franking credits) expected to significantly exceed the dividend yield of the underlying share portfolio over the medium term. YMAX seeks to enhance dividend income through what is known as a 'covered call' strategy.
Potential downside risk management
The additional income generated by YMAX's strategy may partly offset potential losses in falling markets.
Portfolio diversification
In one ASX trade, gain exposure to a portfolio of the largest 20 Australian companies.
There are risks associated with an investment in YMAX, including market risk and use of options risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be considered as a part of a broader portfolio, taking into account your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on www.betashares.com.au.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

1 This is the annual distribution return to the end of the relevant distribution date. The distribution return reflects the contribution to total investment return made by the Fund's distributions. Distribution return is calculated as the total return less the growth return. Total return is calculated as the percentage change in a continuing investor's interest in the Fund assuming reinvestment of all distributions back into the Fund (and no other application or withdrawal), net of ongoing fees. Growth return is the Fund's return excluding distributions, net of ongoing fees. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
