Hejaz High Income Active ETF Announces 1.9349 Cents Per Unit Distribution for Q2 2026

Hejaz High Income Active ETF Confirms 1.9349 Cents Per Unit Distribution for June 2026 Quarter

Equity Trustees Limited has confirmed a final distribution amount of 1.9349 cents per unit for the Hejaz High Income Active ETF (ASX:HJH) for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. The announcement, dated 3 July 2026 and authorised by Director Andrew Godfrey, outlines the essential dates unitholders need to manage their entitlements. This distribution reflects the fund’s ongoing income return to investors within its high-income, actively managed mandate.

Managed in accordance with Islamic finance principles, the Hejaz High Income Active ETF aims to deliver high income returns to unitholders. Distributions are a key component of the fund’s value proposition, making the confirmed amount of 1.9349 cents per unit a definitive figure that provides certainty to investors ahead of the payment date.

Distribution Timeline: Ex-Date, Record Date, and Payment Date Details

The distribution cycle follows a structured timeline. The ex-distribution date was 1 July 2026, meaning units purchased on or after this date are not eligible for the distribution. The record date of 2 July 2026 determined the official register of unitholders entitled to the payment. Together, these dates establish who qualifies for the distribution, with trades settling after the ex-date excluded from entitlement.

The payment date is set for 23 July 2026, when eligible unitholders will receive either a cash distribution or, if they opted into the DRP, additional units in the fund. This roughly three-week interval between record and payment dates aligns with standard Australian ETF distribution practices, allowing sufficient time for processing and allocation. Unitholders with questions about their entitlements can contact Hejaz Financial Services at +61 1300 043 529 or via email at [email protected].

Distribution Reinvestment Plan Available for June 2026 Distribution

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is active for this distribution cycle. As announced on 26 June 2026, unitholders could elect to reinvest their distribution as additional units rather than receive cash. The deadline to submit DRP election notices was 3 July 2026.

The DRP offers a compounding strategy for investors seeking to grow their holdings over time while aligning with the fund’s income mandate. Unitholders who missed the 3 July deadline will receive their distribution in cash on 23 July 2026. The announcement did not specify DRP terms such as any pricing discount or premium applied to reinvested units.

Equity Trustees Limited’s Role as Responsible Entity

Equity Trustees Limited, holding Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 240975), serves as the responsible entity for the Hejaz High Income Active ETF, overseeing governance, compliance, and administrative duties including distribution declarations. The company update was authorised by Director Andrew Godfrey in compliance with ASX continuous disclosure and listing rules.

The fund’s structure separates the responsible entity (Equity Trustees) from the investment manager (Hejaz Financial Services). Equity Trustees manages regulatory and administrative functions, while Hejaz Financial Services handles portfolio management in line with the fund’s investment mandate. For operational queries such as DRP elections or payment details, unitholders should contact Hejaz Financial Services.

Islamic Finance Principles Shape Distribution Composition

Operating under Islamic finance principles, the Hejaz High Income Active ETF excludes interest-bearing instruments (riba) and non-compliant sectors per Sharia guidelines. Consequently, the fund’s income is derived from Sharia-compliant sources rather than traditional bond coupons or interest income, differentiating it from conventional fixed income or high yield ETFs on the ASX.

The announcement does not provide a breakdown of the 1.9349 cents per unit distribution components, such as income, capital gains, or return of capital, nor details on tax treatment. Unitholders should consult tax advisers or review the fund’s annual tax statement to understand the distribution’s Australian income tax implications.

Comparison with Previous Distribution Periods

This announcement confirms a final distribution of 1.9349 cents per unit for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 but does not include data from prior periods. Therefore, direct comparisons of distribution amounts over time cannot be made from this update alone. Investors interested in assessing distribution consistency or yield trends should refer to historical announcements by Equity Trustees.

Distribution fluctuations in active ETFs reflect portfolio changes, market conditions, income from holdings, and active management decisions. Distribution levels remain a key performance indicator for high-income funds. Prospective investors should review the fund’s full distribution history via the ASX announcements platform or the product disclosure statement.

Unitholder Responsibilities Surrounding the DRP Election Deadline

The DRP election deadline of 3 July 2026 has passed. Unitholders who submitted valid election notices by this date will have their distributions reinvested as additional units on 23 July 2026. Those who did not elect to participate or chose cash will receive their distribution payment on or around that date.

Unitholders uncertain about their election status, unit holdings on the record date, or expected entitlements should contact Hejaz Financial Services at [email protected] or +61 1300 043 529. Future DRP participation may require re-election, so monitoring upcoming company updates from Equity Trustees is advisable.

Investor Considerations Ahead of the 23 July 2026 Payment Date

With ex-distribution and record dates completed and the DRP election period closed, the next key date is the payment on 23 July 2026. Eligible unitholders can verify entitlements through their brokers or registry platforms. DRP participants should expect additional units credited at the reinvestment price, while cash recipients will see funds deposited per their instructions.

Looking forward, investors will await the next distribution announcement covering a future period, following the same sequence of dates and DRP options. The fund’s ongoing performance, Sharia-compliant portfolio composition, and broader income market conditions will influence future distribution amounts. The immediate market impact of this announcement on the ETF’s share price was not evident from public sources.
