iShares ETFs Reveal DRP Prices Across 40+ Funds for June 2025

BlackRock Announces DRP Prices for June 2025

BlackRock Investment Management (Australia) Limited (BIMAL), the responsible entity for a broad range of Australian-domiciled iShares exchange traded funds (ETFs), has released the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) prices for the distribution period ending June 2025. This announcement covers over 40 iShares ETFs listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the CBOE, providing unit prices that will apply to investors who have elected to reinvest their distributions.

The DRP allows eligible unitholders to automatically reinvest their distributions into additional units of the relevant ETF at the specified DRP price, rather than receiving cash. This mechanism can be an efficient way for investors to compound their holdings over time without incurring brokerage fees. The detailed pricing spans a diverse set of funds, including government bond ETFs, emerging markets, sector-specific funds like gold and infrastructure, and various equity ETFs covering Australian and global markets.

Investor Participation and Communication

Investors must be registered unitholders as of the record date to participate in the DRP. BlackRock has reiterated its commitment to sustainability by encouraging investors to opt for electronic communications, reducing paper consumption. Statements and notifications related to iShares ETF investments will be emailed by default unless investors specifically request postal delivery through the Computershare Investor Centre.

Additionally, BlackRock reminds investors of their obligations under tax regulations, specifically the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). Investors who have not yet completed their tax residency self-certification are urged to do so promptly to avoid potential reporting to the Australian Taxation Office and foreign tax authorities.

Regulatory and Compliance Framework

The announcement includes comprehensive legal disclaimers and guidance, emphasizing that the material is for general information only and not a financial product recommendation. BlackRock highlights the importance of investors reviewing the latest product disclosure statements and target market determinations before making investment decisions. The firm also clarifies that the iShares ETFs are not sponsored or endorsed by the index providers they track, underscoring the independent nature of the funds.

While the DRP prices provide transparency for reinvestment, BlackRock cautions that investment outcomes are subject to market risks and that past performance is not indicative of future results. The announcement reflects BlackRock’s ongoing efforts to maintain regulatory compliance and investor engagement in a complex and evolving market environment.
