Betashares Capital Updates Product Disclosure Statements for Four Ethical Diversified ETFs on ASX AQUA

Betashares Capital’s Range of Ethical and Diversified ETFs

Betashares Capital Ltd, an Australian investment firm holding AFSL 341181, acts as the responsible entity for several ETFs designed to offer diversified exposure across multiple asset classes and strategies. This announcement relates to four key ethical investment funds within Betashares’ portfolio, structured as registered managed investment schemes with unique Australian Registered Scheme Numbers (ARSN) and ASX trading codes.

The suite includes options catering to various risk profiles, from balanced to high growth, with the Ethical Diversified series focusing on socially responsible investment criteria. Operating from Level 46, 180 George Street, Sydney, NSW, Betashares supports investors through dedicated customer service channels to assist with fund documentation and investment inquiries. The updated PDS reflects Betashares’ commitment to providing compliant and up-to-date disclosure materials for all listed products.

Details of the Four ETFs Covered by the Updated PDS

The updated PDS dated 24 July 2026 applies to the Betashares Ethical Diversified High Growth ETF (ASX:DZZF), Ethical Diversified Growth ETF (ASX:DGGF), Ethical Diversified Balanced ETF (ASX:DBBF), and Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX:DHHF). Each fund targets investors with distinct risk appetites and investment goals. The ethical ETFs incorporate screening aligned with responsible investment principles, while the Diversified All Growth ETF offers broad market exposure for growth-focused investors.

All four ETFs began trading in December 2019 and have nearly seven years of operational history at the time of this update. They are listed on the ASX AQUA market under AQUA Rules, accessible to retail and institutional investors via standard brokerage platforms. Units trade at market prices rather than Net Asset Value (NAV), consistent with typical ETF structures. This updated PDS supersedes the previous version from 28 February 2025, marking a regulatory refresh after approximately seventeen months.

Regulatory Filing and ASIC Compliance

The updated PDS was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 24 July 2026 and announced to the ASX on 27 July 2026. This filing ensures compliance with Australian financial services regulations, providing investors with accurate and current information on fund structure, risks, and operations. ASIC’s registration confirms the PDS as the authoritative disclosure for these four ETFs.

The update replaces the prior PDS effective since 28 February 2025, following standard industry practice to maintain current disclosure on investment strategy, fees, risks, and investor rights. Betashares noted that neither ASIC nor ASX Limited assumes responsibility for the PDS content, though both oversee registration and trading. Investors seeking further details can contact Betashares Customer Support at 1300 487 577 or visit the company website.

Availability of Updated Disclosure Documents and Investor Support

Betashares has made the updated PDS accessible via multiple channels. Investors can download the electronic PDS from www.betashares.com.au or request free physical copies. This approach caters to investors preferring digital or paper formats. Customer support is available at 1300 487 577 to assist with questions about the updated PDS and investment options.

The announcement highlights the availability of Target Market Determination documents on the website, outlining the intended investor profiles for each fund. These resources ensure investors have comprehensive information on fund characteristics, strategies, and risks before investing.

Investment Risks and Suitability Information

The updated PDS clearly states that investments in Betashares ETFs involve risks, including potential delays in repayment and loss of income or principal. Neither Betashares nor Betashares Holdings Pty Ltd guarantees fund performance, capital repayment, or specific returns. These risk disclosures comply with Australian regulatory requirements to inform investors of inherent investment risks.

The offer described in the PDS is primarily directed at "Authorised Participants," financial institutions authorized to apply for and redeem units directly. Retail investors cannot subscribe directly under the PDS but may purchase units on the ASX through brokers or advisers at market prices. The Target Market Determination framework defines the target consumer segments for each fund, supporting responsible distribution. Investors are advised to review the PDS carefully and seek professional legal, financial, and tax advice before investing.

International Distribution Restrictions and Jurisdictional Compliance

The updated PDS specifies that offers are available only to Authorised Participants receiving the PDS in Australia or certain overseas jurisdictions by arrangement with the Responsible Entity. It does not constitute an offer where unlawful under local laws. The funds are not registered outside Australia and New Zealand, though Betashares may pursue registration elsewhere in the future.

The distribution of the PDS outside Australia and New Zealand is subject to legal restrictions. Persons obtaining the PDS abroad should comply with applicable laws. Units have not been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the US or for US persons except in compliance with relevant exemptions. These provisions ensure Betashares adheres to complex international regulatory requirements.

Fund Structure and Trading on the ASX AQUA Market

All four ETFs are structured as exchange-traded funds quoted on the ASX AQUA market, the Asia-Pacific region’s specialist platform for alternative investment products. Units in the Ethical Diversified Balanced, Growth, High Growth ETFs, and Diversified All Growth ETF trade continuously under AQUA Rules, enabling investors to buy and sell at market prices throughout the trading day. This provides liquidity and transparency, differing from traditional managed funds that transact at NAV.

Only one class of units per fund is quoted on AQUA at any time, simplifying the structure. Additional Betashares products, including Diversified High Growth, Growth, Balanced, and Credit Income ETFs, are referenced but not yet quoted at the time of the PDS filing. Applications for units in these funds will not be accepted until the PDS exposure period ends, typically seven days after ASIC lodgement, subject to extension.

Portfolio Growth and Supplementary Disclosure Framework

The updated PDS framework allows Betashares to add new ETFs under the same disclosure structure over time, providing flexibility for portfolio expansion. New funds may be introduced via supplementary or standalone PDS documents without requiring entirely new disclosures for each product. This approach streamlines regulatory compliance and product launches.

The broader Betashares suite includes eight ETFs referenced in the updated PDS: the four Ethical Diversified and Diversified All Growth ETFs covered here, plus Diversified High Growth, Growth, Balanced, and Credit Income ETFs. This diverse range addresses various investor risk profiles and strategies, supported by a unified disclosure framework that meets regulatory and investor information standards.

Investor Access and Information Resources

Retail investors can acquire units in these ETFs through ASX stockbrokers or financial advisers at market prices, gaining exposure to diversified investment strategies without direct application as Authorised Participants. The updated PDS provides detailed information on fund objectives, strategies, fees, risks, and operations.

Prospective investors are encouraged to review Target Market Determination documents available at www.betashares.com.au to understand the suitable investor profiles for each fund. The website also hosts full PDS documentation and additional fund details. For personalized advice, investors should consult professional legal, financial, and taxation advisors before making investment decisions. This comprehensive resource suite supports informed investing in Betashares’ diversified ETF offerings.
