Overview

Fund objective

SMLL aims to track the Nasdaq Australia Small Cap Select Index (before fees and expenses) that provides exposure to a portfolio of high-quality, profitable small cap companies listed on the ASX.

Fund strategy

SMLL invests in a portfolio of ASX-listed companies that are generally within the 91-350 largest by free float market capitalisation. The portfolio will typically consist of 50-100 securities. SMLL's index uses screens that aim to identify companies with positive earnings and a strong ability to service debt. Relative valuation metrics, price momentum and liquidity are also evaluated as part of the selection process.

Benefits

Cost-effective

SMLL applies a smart screening process to construct a portfolio at a management fee lower than most actively and passively managed funds that invest in small-cap Australian companies.

Portfolio diversification

SMLL offers diversified exposure to the smaller end of the Australian share market, allowing investors to tap into the benefits of small cap investing and diversify their holdings away from what is typically an over-exposure to large cap companies in Australia.

High quality small-cap strategy

SMLL provides access to a tailored portfolio of high-quality, profitable small-cap Australian companies, applying a screening process focused on excluding companies which may be a drag on long-term performance.

There are risks associated with an investment in SMLL, including investment objective risk, market risk and small companies 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.

Inception date refers to the initial inception date of the Fund. The Fund's investment objective and strategy, marketing making arrangements and fees were modified with effect on 10 January 2025 following the close of trading. As the rules applied in the Fund's investment approach were similar to the methodology of the Nasdaq Australia Small Cap Select Index, no material changes to the Fund's investment approach or holdings are expected as a result of the change. For more information, refer to the ASX announcement dated 10 December 2024.

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.
