Overview

Fund objective

HQUS aims to track the performance of the S&P 500 Equal Weight AUD Hedged Index NTR (before fees and expenses). The Index provides exposure to 500 leading listed US companies, with each holding in the index weighted equally. HQUS currently obtains its investment exposure by investing in the Betashares S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ASX: QUS), with the foreign currency exposure hedged back to the Australian dollar.

Benefits

Portfolio diversification

HQUS provides cost-effective exposure to an equally weighted portfolio of 500 leading US companies.

Reduced concentration

An equal weighting approach reduces the risk of the portfolio being heavily exposed to a small number of ‘mega cap’ companies.

Currency-hedged

HQUS is currency-hedged to the Australian dollar, which seeks to minimise the effect of currency fluctuations on returns.

There are risks associated with an investment in HQUS, including market risk, index methodology risk, country risk and currency hedging 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 the Betashares website.

Total Return: -
* As at 30 January 2026.

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.
