Final Distribution Figures Announced for All Five Fidelity Active ETFs for June 2026
FIL Responsible Entity (Australia) Limited has confirmed the final distribution amounts for its five active ETFs listed on the ASX for the period ending 30 June 2026. These distributions represent income earned by each fund during the financial year and constitute the final payments to unitholders.
The confirmed cents-per-unit (CPU) distributions are: Fidelity Asia Active ETF (FASI) at 76.151152 CPU; Fidelity Australian High Conviction Active ETF (FHCO) at 183.070210 CPU; Fidelity Global Emerging Markets Active ETF (FEMX) at 69.970123 CPU; Fidelity Global Future Leaders Active ETF (FCAP) at 26.725519 CPU; and Fidelity India Active ETF (FIIN) at 0.558577 CPU. These details are also available on the Fidelity Australia website at www.fidelity.com.au.
Fidelity Australian High Conviction Active ETF Delivers Largest Distribution of 183.07 Cents Per Unit
The Fidelity Australian High Conviction Active ETF (FHCO) recorded the highest distribution among the five funds, paying 183.070210 cents per unit with a Distribution Reinvestment Price of $6.2196. This reflects the fund’s focused exposure to high-conviction Australian equities and the capital gains and income generated over the financial year ending 30 June 2026.
Investors should be aware that a high cents-per-unit distribution does not necessarily indicate superior total returns, as distribution amounts depend on factors such as the fund’s unit price, portfolio composition, and timing of income recognition. Unitholders are advised to review their individual statements after the payment date and consult the fund’s Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for detailed information on distribution calculations and taxation.
Fidelity India Active ETF Reports Modest Distribution of 0.558577 CPU Reflecting Growth Focus
The Fidelity India Active ETF (FIIN) declared a distribution of 0.558577 cents per unit, with a Distribution Reinvestment Price of $7.8354. Growth-oriented India-focused funds typically reinvest a significant portion of returns rather than distributing income, explaining the lower CPU compared to other Fidelity active ETFs.
This lower distribution does not imply weaker performance but reflects the characteristics of the Indian equity market, where companies often retain earnings for reinvestment instead of paying high dividends. Investors should consider total return data—including distributions and unit price changes—to assess fund performance comprehensively.
Distribution Reinvestment Prices Established as of 2 July 2026
Distribution Reinvestment Prices (DRP Prices) have been set for each of the five active ETFs as of the record date, 2 July 2026. The prices are: FASI at $11.6173; FHCO at $6.2196; FEMX at $7.4662; FCAP at $12.0514; and FIIN at $7.8354.
The DRP allows eligible unitholders to reinvest their cash distributions into additional units of the fund instead of receiving cash payments, offering a potentially tax-efficient and cost-effective way to compound returns. Investors should evaluate their personal financial situations and consult licensed financial advisers before making DRP elections. The DRP Election Date was 2 July 2026, by which investors needed to confirm their participation.
Important Dates for the June 2026 Distribution Cycle
The distribution timetable includes key dates: the ex-date was 1 July 2026, meaning units bought on or after this date are not entitled to the distribution. The record date and DRP Election Date were both 2 July 2026.
Cash distribution payments and DRP unit issuances are scheduled for 20 July 2026. Unitholders should ensure their banking details and DRP preferences are current with MUFG Investor Services before this date. Distribution statements will be sent after the payment date and will also be accessible online via the MUFG Investor Centre portal, as provided by Fidelity Australia.
Accessing Distribution Statements Through MUFG Investor Centre
Following the 20 July 2026 payment, distribution statements will be distributed to all unitholders in the five active ETFs. These statements will detail each investor’s distribution entitlement based on unit holdings as of the record date. Investors can also access their statements online at https://au.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/login/login.
Online access is especially helpful for investors managing multiple holdings or needing prompt distribution figures for tax purposes. Since these distributions relate to the financial year ending 30 June 2026, many investors will use this information to prepare their annual tax returns. Full tax details, including franking credits where applicable, will be provided in year-end tax statements.
Mid-Range Distributions Declared by Fidelity Asia and Global Emerging Markets ETFs
The internationally focused Fidelity Asia Active ETF (FASI) and Fidelity Global Emerging Markets Active ETF (FEMX) declared mid-range distributions. FASI will pay 76.151152 cents per unit with a DRP price of $11.6173, while FEMX will pay 69.970123 cents per unit with a DRP price of $7.4662.
Both funds offer exposure to emerging and developing Asian markets, which present higher growth potential alongside increased volatility compared to developed markets. Their distributions represent income from dividends and realised gains generated during the year. Investors reinvesting distributions will receive new units at the confirmed DRP prices on 20 July 2026.
Distribution Details for Fidelity Global Future Leaders Active ETF (FCAP)
The Fidelity Global Future Leaders Active ETF (FCAP), which focuses on companies with long-term global growth prospects, declared a distribution of 26.725519 cents per unit for the period ending 30 June 2026, with a DRP price of $12.0514. This is the lowest CPU among the three internationally diversified funds, reflecting the fund’s emphasis on capital appreciation over income.
FCAP’s DRP price of $12.0514 is the highest among the five Fidelity active ETFs, indicating relative unit price appreciation. Investors participating in the DRP will receive fewer units per dollar reinvested compared to lower-priced funds, but the overall economic value remains equivalent at the DRP price on the issue date. Unitholders should review current unit prices and total return data on the Fidelity Australia website for a full performance overview.
