BetaShares Australian Small Companies Select ETF aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over the medium to long term (after fees and expenses) by investing in a portfolio of high quality, profitable small companies. The portfolio is constructed using various screens aiming to identify companies with positive earnings and a strong ability to service debt. Relative valuation metrics, price momentum and liquidity are also evaluated as part of the stock selection process.
- The Fund does not aim to track an index.
- Provides access to a tailored portfolio of small-cap Australian companies, removing those companies which may be a drag on long term performance.
- Offers diversified exposure to the smaller end of the sharemarket, and therefore specifically excludes larger stocks to which many investors are already exposed.
- Management fee is significantly lower than most actively managed funds that invest in small cap Australian companies.
