Schroder Global Equity Alpha Fund Announces 4.33 Cents Per Unit Final Distribution for Q2 2026

Final Distribution of 4.33 Cents Per Unit for June 2026 Quarter Confirmed

Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited, acting as the Responsible Entity for the Schroder Global Equity Alpha Fund – Active ETF, has confirmed a final distribution amounting to 4.33 cents per unit for the quarter ending 30 June 2026. This amount reflects the income earned during the period and will be paid to all unitholders recorded as of the 2 July 2026 record date.

While the announcement does not detail the specific income components such as dividend income, interest, or realised capital gains, unitholders will receive comprehensive tax information in their distribution statements. The cents per unit (CPU) figure will also be published on the Schroder website at www.schroders.com.au/ALPH.

Critical Dates for Unitholders: Ex-Date, Record Date, DRP Election, and Payment

The distribution timetable is as follows: the ex-date is 1 July 2026, meaning units purchased on or after this date will not qualify for the current distribution. Investors on the register as of the record date, 2 July 2026, will be entitled to the distribution payment.

The deadline to elect participation in the distribution reinvestment plan (DRP) is 3 July 2026. Unitholders who do not submit their DRP election by this date will receive the distribution in cash. Payment is scheduled for 14 July 2026. Those uncertain about their DRP status should contact Link Market Services or access their investor portal before the election deadline.

Accessing Distribution Statements and CPU Details

Following the payment date, Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited will send distribution statements to all unitholders. These statements will also be accessible online via the Link Market Services portal at https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.com.au/Login/Login, providing a record of each investor’s entitlement.

The detailed CPU breakdown, which includes tax component information, will be available on the Schroder website at www.schroders.com.au/ALPH. Investors are advised to retain these documents for tax reporting purposes, as the managed investment trust status of the fund affects how distributions are treated for tax.

Managed Investment Trust Classification and Tax Implications

The fund is classified as a managed investment trust (MIT) under Subdivision 12-H of Schedule 1 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953. This status affects both Australian resident and non-resident unitholders regarding withholding tax and income treatment on distributions.

Australian residents may receive distributions comprising capital gains, foreign income, and Australian sourced income, each subject to different tax treatments. Non-resident investors face specific withholding tax rates on certain income types. Unitholders should consult a qualified tax adviser to understand the tax implications of their distributions, as this announcement does not constitute tax advice.

The Schroder Global Equity Alpha Fund – Active ETF (ASX:ALP) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund operated by Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited, a global asset manager with a strong presence in Australia. The fund offers investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of global equities through an active management approach rather than passively tracking an index.

Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL No. 226473) and operates under ABN 22 000 443 274, with its registered office at Level 17, 39 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000.

The fund’s active ETF structure allows trading on the ASX during market hours and periodic distributions to unitholders.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan: Action Required by 3 July 2026

The distribution reinvestment plan (DRP) enables eligible unitholders to reinvest their distribution into additional units of the fund instead of receiving cash. The DRP election deadline is 3 July 2026, providing a limited window between the ex-date and this deadline for investors to make or modify their DRP elections.

Investors wishing to participate or withdraw from the DRP should act promptly via their broker, the Link Market Services portal, or by contacting the fund administrator directly. Contact details include the email [email protected] and phone number 1300 180 103. The announcement did not specify the price at which DRP units will be issued.

Schroder Investment Management’s Fiduciary Role and Regulatory Compliance

As responsible entity, Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of unitholders. Under Australian law, the responsible entity must comply with the fund’s constitution, the Corporations Act 2001, and maintain its AFSL obligations. This announcement is made on behalf of Schroder Investment Management Australia Limited in its capacity as responsible entity, underscoring its legal accountability.

The fund’s MIT registration also entails compliance with tax administration requirements. The formal declaration of MIT status ensures proper withholding tax treatment on fund payments, reflecting the structured and compliant nature of this distribution.

Post-Distribution Considerations for ALP Investors

After the 14 July 2026 payment, investors should verify receipt of their distribution via brokerage accounts and the Link Market Services portal. Those enrolled in the DRP should confirm the number of additional units issued and the issue price. Distribution statements will provide detailed income breakdowns necessary for 2026 tax filings.

Investors may also anticipate further communications from Schroder Investment Management regarding the fund’s performance for the June 2026 financial year, including portfolio commentary or updates related to the distribution cycle. Annual tax statements, which summarize all distributions for the financial year, will be the next key documents for unitholders. The immediate impact of this distribution announcement on the fund’s share price was not disclosed.
