Attractive, stable income
The Funds target fixed monthly income payments, providing predictability of cash flow.
A clear investment timeline
Like a traditional bond, the Funds have a set maturity date, when you’ll receive the value (NAV) of your units.
Daily liquidity
Like any ETF, you have the flexibility to buy or sell any time prior to maturity on the ASX, with T+2 settlement.
What happens to my investment when the fund terminates?
When the fund reaches its maturity date, investors receive the value (NAV) of their units, and the fund will be terminated. Investors will have the option to roll the proceeds into a new five-year Defined Income Bond ETF.
How can investors use these funds in a portfolio?
Betashares Defined Income ETFs can be used to:
-
Generate stable income with predictable monthly payments.
-
Plan for future cash flow needs with a clear maturity date.
-
Diversify fixed income exposure across different maturities by building a bond ladder.
-
Manage interest rate risk by selecting a maturity that aligns with your investment goals.
Why are the Defined Income ETFs ‘Active’?
From April 2025, ASIC introduced a number of changes to ETF naming conventions. While these funds are not actively managed in the sense that they are buying and selling bonds to generate outperformance of a benchmark, they do not track an index like a traditional ETF. As such, these funds are labelled ‘active’.
What happens if I sell my investment before maturity?
You have the flexibility to sell your investment on the ASX at any time before the fund matures. The price you receive will depend on prevailing market conditions, and may be higher or lower than what you would receive if you held the ETF to maturity.
Who are these ETFs suited for?
-
Income focused investors looking for regular, stable cash flow
-
Retirees or pre-retirees planning over a specific time horizon
-
Advisers managing client income portfolios with predictability in mind
-
Investors looking to complement or replace traditional term-based strategies
Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and income distributions can go down as well as up. Funds that use gearing magnify both gains and losses and may not be suitable for all investors. Before making an investment decision you should consider the relevant product disclosure statement (available at www.betashares.com.au) and your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk, and obtain financial advice. An investment in any Fund should only be considered as a component of a broader portfolio.
