Daintree Core Income Active ETF Announces 28.703 Cents Per Unit EOFY Distribution, Payment on 10 July 2026

DCOR Sets EOFY Distribution at 28.703 Cents Per Unit for Year Ending 30 June 2026

The Daintree Core Income Active ETF has announced an end-of-financial-year distribution of 28.703 cents per unit for the period ending 30 June 2026. This amount represents the total income distributed to unitholders recorded on the 30 June 2026 record date. The announcement did not include prior period distribution figures, so year-on-year comparisons cannot be made based on this release alone.

For investors focused on income within a fixed income ETF like DCOR, the distribution amount is a critical indicator of the fund’s capacity to meet its objective of providing a consistent income stream. DCOR’s investment mandate, as outlined in the announcement, involves investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities and cash, aiming to deliver a total return after fees that exceeds the RBA Cash Rate over a Market Cycle. This declared distribution aligns with that income objective, though investors should note that past distributions do not guarantee future income levels.

Essential Dates for DCOR Distribution Eligibility and Payment in June 2026

Perennial Investment Management’s distribution schedule for DCOR includes four key dates. The ex-distribution date was Monday, 29 June 2026, meaning units had to be purchased before this date to qualify for the distribution. The record date was Tuesday, 30 June 2026, requiring unitholders to be registered by then to receive payment.

The deadline to elect participation in the DRP was 2:00 PM on 30 June 2026, coinciding with the record date, which provided a narrow window for investors to make their election if not already done. The distribution payment or DRP unit allocation is set for Friday, 10 July 2026. Unitholders who missed the election deadline or have not registered bank details are advised to contact the fund’s client services promptly to confirm their payment status.

DRP Issue Price of $51.44 Enables Reinvestment for Eligible Unitholders

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan issue price for this distribution is fixed at $51.4400 per unit. Eligible unitholders who opt to reinvest their distributions will receive additional DCOR units at this price instead of cash on 10 July 2026. This allows investors to grow their holdings without incurring transaction costs associated with market purchases.

The DRP issue price reflects the fund’s unit price as determined under the DRP terms. Investors evaluating the DRP option should compare this issue price to the prevailing market price of DCOR units at the time of their decision. The full DRP terms are available at the Daintree Capital investor centre via the Fund Manager link. The announcement did not specify any discount or premium applied to the DRP price relative to market price.

Default DRP Participation for Unitholders Without Registered Bank Details

A significant point in the update is the treatment of unitholders lacking registered bank account details with the fund’s registrar, SS&C Solutions Pty Ltd. If valid bank details are on file, distributions will be paid in cash by default. However, if no valid bank details exist, distributions will default to DRP participation, resulting in issuance of additional units rather than cash payments.

This is important for unitholders preferring cash income but who have not updated their bank information. DCOR does not distribute payments by cheque or mail; electronic payment via registered bank accounts is required for cash receipt. Unitholders who recently opened brokerage accounts, changed banking details, or transferred holdings should ensure their bank details are current to avoid unintended DRP enrollment. The fund advises submitting a Change of Details form via the Daintree Capital website or contacting client services at 1300 011 088 or [email protected].

Updating Payment Preferences and Accessing the Daintree Investor Centre

Unitholders can update distribution payment choices and bank details through multiple channels. The primary method is completing a Change of Details form, available on the Daintree Capital website’s invest-with-us forms page. This form allows specifying a preference for cash or DRP and ensures accurate bank details are recorded with SS&C Solutions Pty Ltd, the fund’s registrar.

Investors may also manage their information and review distribution history via the Daintree Investor Centre portal at daintree.unitregistry.com.au/investor. For assistance, the client services team can be reached at 1300 011 088 or [email protected]. Full DRP documentation is downloadable at daintreecapital.com.au/investor-centre. These resources demonstrate the operational support Perennial and Daintree Capital provide to DCOR’s retail and institutional investors.

Daintree Capital’s Absolute Return Fixed Income Approach Underpinning DCOR

Managed by Daintree Capital, described as a specialist absolute return cash and fixed income manager, DCOR invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities and cash. Its goal is to provide income and capital stability over the medium term, benchmarking total returns against the RBA Cash Rate over a market cycle rather than short-term periods.

This positions DCOR among actively managed fixed income ETFs on the ASX, offering professionally managed bond and cash exposure within a transparent, exchange-traded structure. Unlike passive index-tracking funds, Daintree Capital has discretion to adjust portfolio duration, credit quality, and sector allocations in response to evolving monetary policy and credit market conditions. This flexibility is particularly pertinent amid the current Australian interest rate environment, where the RBA Cash Rate remains a key focus for fixed income investors throughout 2025 and into 2026.

Perennial Investment Management’s Role as DCOR’s Responsible Entity

Perennial Investment Management Limited (ABN 13 108 747 637, AFSL 275101) serves as the Responsible Entity and issuer for DCOR. Under Australian financial services legislation, the Responsible Entity is the licensed body accountable for operating the managed investment scheme, ensuring compliance with its constitution, Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), and ASIC regulations. Perennial is the signatory on all formal fund communications, including this distribution announcement.

The investment management is delegated to Daintree Capital Management Pty Limited (ABN 45 610 989 912), a Corporate Authorised Representative (CAR 001304218) of Perennial Value Management Limited (ABN 22 090 879 904, AFSL 247293). This dual-entity structure, where a Responsible Entity appoints a specialist manager, is common in the Australian ETF and managed fund sector. Investors seeking detailed legal and operational information are advised to consult the PDS and Target Market Determination, available at daintreecapital.com.au or by calling 1300 011 088.

Implications of DCOR’s EOFY Distribution for Income-Oriented ETF Investors

The 28.703 cents per unit EOFY distribution confirms DCOR generated distributable income for the financial year ending 30 June 2026. For investors using DCOR as a core income asset within a diversified portfolio, the 10 July 2026 payment date means cash distributions will be received early in the new financial year, which may be relevant for cash flow planning and tax considerations.

Fixed income ETFs like DCOR have gained attention among Australian investors seeking yield amid the RBA’s rate cycle. The fund’s objective to outperform the RBA Cash Rate over a market cycle provides a clear benchmark for performance monitoring. This announcement did not include commentary on fund performance relative to this benchmark or future distribution outlooks. Investors are encouraged to review regular performance reports and communications from Daintree Capital for additional context.

The immediate impact on DCOR’s unit price following this distribution announcement was not publicly available.
