Australian Equities Strong Bear Complex ETF
Overview
Fund objective
BBOZ seeks to generate magnified returns that are negatively correlated to the returns of the Australian sharemarket. The Fund expects to generate a magnified positive return when the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index falls on a given day (and a magnified negative return when the index rises on a given day).
Fund strategies
A 1% fall in the Australian sharemarket on a given day can generally be expected to deliver a 2% to 2.75% increase in the value of the Fund (and a corresponding decrease in the value of the Fund if the Australian sharemarket rises).
The Fund’s portfolio exposure is actively monitored and adjusted to stay within a -2x to -2.75x range on any given day. The Fund’s returns will not necessarily be in the range -2x to -2.75x over periods longer than a day, due to the effects of rebalancing to maintain the Fund's daily target short exposure range and compounding of investment returns over time. The Fund's returns over periods longer than one day may differ in amount and possibly direction from the daily target return range. This effect on returns over time can be expected to be more pronounced the more volatile the Australian sharemarket and the longer an investor's holding period.
Investors should actively monitor their investment as frequently as daily to ensure it continues to meet their investment objectives.
The Fund uses futures to obtain its exposure rather than the underlying shares. As the futures market closes at a later time to the share market, at times the Fund’s performance for a given day may differ from that indicated by the share market.
Gearing magnifies gains and losses and may not be a suitable strategy for all investors. An investment in the Fund is very high risk in nature.

Exposure

|---|---|
| Current portfolio exposure** (%) | -232.7% |
*Calculated as the Fund's short exposure to the S&P/ASX 200 Acc Index as a percentage of the Fund's net asset value. **Represents the Fund's approximate exposure, for the above date, to movements in the S&P/ASX 200 Acc Index, as measured by the futures contract held in the Fund. For example, if the Fund's Portfolio Exposure is -230% (or -2.30x) and the S&P/ASX 200 Index goes down 1% that day, the Fund would be expected to go up approximately 2.30% that day, before fees and expenses. The Fund is actively managed and the portfolio exposure will change on a daily basis, affecting returns over time."

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.
Distributions
Frequency and yield
| Distribution frequency | Annual |
|---|
*As at 28 June 2024. Yield figures are calculated by summing the prior 12 month net and gross fund per unit distributions divided by the fund closing NAV per unit. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.

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.
