Betashares Declares November 2025 Final Distributions Across 17 ETFs

Betashares Announces November 2025 Distributions

Betashares Capital Ltd has released its final distribution payable amounts for the November 2025 period across a suite of 17 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed on the ASX AQUA market. This announcement provides investors with clarity on expected income returns, payment dates, and options for reinvestment.

The funds cover a diverse range of fixed income and equity strategies, including fixed term corporate bonds maturing in 2028, 2029, and 2030, Australian high interest cash, ethical bonds, government bonds, major bank hybrids, and dividend-focused equity ETFs. Distribution amounts per unit vary, with the highest reaching approximately 15 cents per unit for some funds.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Payment Timetable

Eligible investors can participate in the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP), allowing distributions to be automatically reinvested into additional units rather than paid out in cash. The DRP price will be announced on 1 December 2025, with unit issuance scheduled for 16 December. Investors must register their DRP election by 3 December to participate.

Payment dates for distributions are staggered, with some funds paying as early as 1 December and others by 16 December. To receive distributions, investors must hold units by the record date and ensure their bank details are up to date with the registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets.

Tax Treatment and Franking Credits

All distributing funds are classified as Attribution Managed Investment Trusts (AMITs) under Australian tax law. This structure allows for flexibility in the amount of cash distributed relative to taxable income attributed to investors. Some funds carry partial franking credits, which can enhance after-tax returns for Australian resident investors. The level of franking varies significantly, with some funds showing no franking and others up to approximately 55% franked.

Investors are advised to consult the detailed distribution statements and consider professional tax advice to understand the implications for their individual circumstances.

Looking Ahead

As Betashares continues to manage a broad portfolio of ETFs, these distribution announcements provide a key income signal to investors amid evolving market conditions. The availability of the DRP offers a convenient way to compound returns, while the AMIT tax treatment underscores the importance of understanding the tax profile of each fund.
