Nasdaq 100 Currency Hedged ETF
Overview
Fund objective
HNDQ aims to track the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Currency Hedged AUD Index (before fees and expenses). The Index comprises 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq market, and includes many companies that are at the forefront of the new economy. HNDQ currently obtains its investment exposure by investing in the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ), with the foreign currency exposure hedged back to the Australian dollar.
Benefits
Invest in the way you live
In one trade on the ASX get exposure to companies like Apple, Amazon and Google, that have changed the way we live.
Exposure to the ‘new economy’
With its strong focus on technology, HNDQ provides diversified exposure to a high growth potential sector that is under-represented in the Australian sharemarket.
Currency-hedged
HNDQ is currency-hedged to the Australian dollar, which seeks to minimise the effect of currency fluctuations on returns.
There are risks associated with an investment in HNDQ, including market risk, country risk, sector risk and hedging risk. Investment value can go up and down. An investment in the Fund should only be considered as a part of a broader portfolio, taking into account your particular circumstances, including your tolerance for risk. For more information on risks and other features of the Fund, please see the Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination, both available on this website.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
