BetaShares Australian Bank Senior Floating Rate Bond ETF
OBJECTIVE
Provides exposure to a portfolio of some of the largest and most liquid senior floating rate bonds issued by Australian banks.
OVERVIEW
About
Aims to provide attractive and regular income distributions, combined with a high level of capital stability, expected to exceed income paid on cash and short-dated term deposits.
- Assets are invested in a portfolio of senior floating rate bonds issued by Australian banks
- Eligible bonds must have amounts outstanding of at least $500 million and a term to maturity of between 1 to 5 years
- At least 80% of total portfolio weight allocated to bonds issued by the following eligible banks: ANZ Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Australia Bank and Westpac (equally weighted)
- Up to 20% of total portfolio weight allocated to bonds issued by the following eligible banks: AMP Bank, Bank of Queensland, Bendigo & Adelaide Bank, Macquarie Bank, Members Equity Bank and Suncorp-Metway
Advantages
- Regular attractive income – income paid monthly, and expected to exceed income paid on cash and short-dated term deposits. Income expected to rise should interest rates rise and vice versa
- Stability – historically Australian bank senior floating rate bonds have had a high level of capital stability, and limited capital variability during market declines
- Diversification – floating rate bonds have historically exhibited low correlation to equities as well as defensive characteristics during market declines
- Low cost – management costs of only 0.22% p.a.
- Access – simple way to access a diversified portfolio of Australian bank senior floating rate bonds, inaccessible to most investors directly
- Liquidity – available to trade on the ASX like any share, capital not locked up unlike term deposits
How to Invest
- You can buy or sell units just like you’d buy or sell any share on the ASX
- Fund requires no minimum investment

Index Methodology
Portfolio Characteristics
|
Running Yield (% p.a.)
Average coupon (weighted by market value) of the
bonds
in the portfolio, divided by the current market price of the bonds.
Provides
an indication of expected current income from making an investment at
market
price. This value will vary over time as interest rates change.
|
2.92 % p.a. |
|
Yield to Maturity (% p.a.)
Total expected return from the bond portfolio,
based
on current bond
prices and assuming no change in prevailing interest rates. This value
will
vary over time.
|
3.06 % p.a. |
|
Average Maturity (yrs)
Average (weighted by market value) length of time
until the current
bonds in the portfolio mature.
|
4.09 yrs |
|
Modified Duration (yrs)
A measure of the sensitivity of the portfolio’s
value
to a change in
interest rates. For example, a Modified Duration of 0.15 years implies
that
a 1% rise in the
reference interest rate will reduce the value of the portfolio by 0.15%.
|
0.11 yrs |
|

Chart
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.
