BetaShares Strong Australian Dollar Fund (hedge fund)
A simple and convenient way to gain geared exposure to the value of the Australian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.
OVERVIEW
Fund Objective
AUDS aims to provide geared exposure to changes in the value of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
Fund Strategy
AUDS generally expects to generate a positive return of between 2% and 2.75% for a 1% rise in the value of the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar on a given day (and vice versa).
Returns over longer periods will not necessarily be equivalent to the expected return on a given day.
Gearing magnifies gains and losses and may not be a suitable strategy for all investors.
Benefits of AUDS
Geared exposure to a rising AUD
Potential for magnified gains if the AUD appreciates against the USD (and vice versa).
Simple to access, convenience
AUDS is traded in Australian dollars on the ASX, avoiding the inconvenience and complexity of trading CFDs, or dealing in FX markets. No margin calls.
Hedge international investments
Reduce the currency impact of an appreciating AUD on your investments denominated in USD.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.

For example, if the Fund's Gearing multiple is 2.30x and the Australian dollar goes up relative to the U.S. dollar by 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.

Chart
Chart Type
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.
