Overview

BetaShares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ASX: ETHI) gives Australian investors access to a global share portfolio shaped by a sustainability-focused approach.

Category

ETHI is a global equity ETF built around a sustainability-leaders theme. Its supplied portfolio data shows exposure to businesses across several sectors and regions, with technology and financial services the largest sector allocations.

Sustainability-focused funds can use different definitions and screens, so funds sharing an ethical or ESG label may hold quite different companies. Those screens can also create sector and stock tilts relative to conventional global equity portfolios. For ETHI, the supplied holdings and sector mix provide a practical way to understand how the theme is expressed in the portfolio.

Risks

Who it may suit

May interest investors researching global shares with a sustainability-focused screening approach who are comfortable with equity-market risk, overseas exposure and sector concentrations. This is general information, not personal financial advice.

Key risks

ETHI is subject to the risks of global sharemarkets, including company-specific and market-wide price declines. The portfolio has notable technology and financial-services exposure, which can lead to returns differing from broader or differently structured global equity funds. Because the holdings include overseas companies, exchange-rate changes can affect returns measured in Australian dollars. Sustainability screening also involves methodology choices and may exclude companies or sectors that perform differently from those retained.

FAQ

What kind of exposure does ETHI provide?

ETHI provides exposure to global shares selected around a sustainability-leaders theme. Its largest sector exposures in the supplied portfolio data are technology and financial services.

How often does ETHI make distributions?

The supplied fund information lists distributions as half-yearly. Distribution amounts can vary and are not guaranteed.

What are some key risks to understand?

ETHI is exposed to sharemarket movements, and its substantial technology and financial-services exposure may cause returns to differ from those of a more broadly balanced global share portfolio. Overseas holdings also introduce currency risk for Australian investors. Sustainability screens can produce a portfolio that differs from conventional market benchmarks.
