Betashares Australian Sustainability Leaders ETF Guide (FAIR) and Details

Overview

BetaShares Australian Sustainability Leaders ETF (FAIR) is an Australian share ETF with a sustainability theme. Its portfolio is entirely invested in shares, with its largest sector exposure in financial services and its largest individual holding in Woolworths. Recent reported returns have been negative, while the longer reported periods are mixed—context that helps frame the fund’s market exposure, but does not predict future results.

Category

FAIR offers exposure to Australian shares through a sustainability-themed fund. The supplied portfolio data shows holdings across several sectors, including financial services, healthcare, property and communications. The available information does not specify the fund’s detailed sustainability criteria, so the theme should not be taken as a description of particular screening or selection rules.

FAIR’s reported returns show a difficult recent period: the year-to-date figure is -9.08% and the one-year return is -16.619%. The reported three-year return is 4.326%, while the five-year return is 1.025%. These figures describe different periods and do not indicate what future performance will be. The displayed dividend yield is 3.167%, with distributions described as half-yearly; neither yield nor distributions are assured.

Risks

Who it may suit

FAIR may interest investors researching Australian shares through a sustainability-themed approach. Its all-equity exposure, concentration in Australian companies and reported performance should be considered alongside an investor’s own objectives and circumstances. This is general information, not personal financial advice.

Key risks

As an all-equity fund, FAIR is exposed to share-market volatility and can lose value. Its Australian focus and the 42.167% concentration in its top 10 holdings may leave returns sensitive to local market conditions and the fortunes of a relatively small group of companies. Sustainability-themed approaches can also differ in how they define and apply their criteria; the supplied information does not detail FAIR’s screening methodology. Past returns and the displayed yield are not guarantees of future results.
