BetaShares Geared U.S. Equity ETF provides investors with cost-effective geared exposure to the returns of the broad U.S. sharemarket, hedged for currency exposure. GGUS combines funds received from investors with borrowed funds and invests the proceeds in a broadly diversified share portfolio consisting of the largest 500 shares listed in the U.S. by market capitalisation (as measured by the S&P 500 Index).

  • The Fund is “internally geared”, which means the Fund borrows the money, instead of investors.
  • Aims to provide geared exposure to the returns of the U.S. share market, hedged to Australian dollars.
  • The Fund’s gearing ratio (being the total amount borrowed expressed as a percentage of the total assets of the Fund) is managed between 50-65%.
