| Betashares Australia 200 ETF Fund | 6 – High | The investment objective of the Betashares Australia 200 ETF is to provide an investment return that tracks the performance of the Solactive Australia 200 Index (the ‘Index’), before taking into account fees and expenses. | In seeking to achieve the investment objective of the Fund will employ a passive management approach designed to track the performance of the relevant Index, before fees and expenses. The Fund will generally seek to invest in the securities that comprise the relevant Index in proportion to the weightings of the securities in the Index. This is known as a “full replication” strategy. As far as practicable, the timing and nature of any changes to the composition of the Fund’s investments will generally correspond with the timing and nature of changes to the relevant Index. The holdings of a Fund may not always exactly replicate its index. |
