Betashares Australian Dividend Harvester Active ETF (ASX:HVST) aims to provide regular income comprising dividends and franking credits from Australian shares. Its stated income objective is at least twice that of the broad Australian sharemarket on an annual basis, and it also seeks to reduce volatility and cushion downside risk.

Investment Mandate

These aims describe the mandate rather than verified outcomes. The holdings combine other exchange-traded funds with individual Australian shares. The portfolio record therefore contains both fund-level positions and direct company positions, which need to remain distinct when describing its composition.

Sector Composition

The largest reported sector weights are financial services at 37.25%, basic materials at 22.07% and consumer cyclical at 6.92%. Energy represents 6.28%, Healthcare represents 5.95% and Real Estate represents 5.51%. These figures describe the sector allocation in the supplied portfolio record.

Financial Services represents 37.25% of the fund, above the category figure of 34.74%; Utilities represents 1.84% of the fund, below the category figure of 1.90%. These comparisons are differences between the fund and its category, rather than increases or declines over time. The record does not provide a dated sequence of sector weights from which an allocation trend could be established.

Geographic and Asset Allocation

The geographic table assigns 96.80% to Australia. The next reported allocations are United States at 2.09%, New Zealand at 0.70%, United Kingdom at 0.25% and Canada at 0.12%. The asset-class record lists 99.98% in stocks and 0.01% in cash, with 0.00% in bonds. Geographic and asset-class percentages describe different aspects of the portfolio and should be read separately.

Leading Holdings

The leading disclosed holding entries are Betashares Australia 200 ETF at 24.84%, Betashares Australian Resources Sector ETF at 14.33% and Betashares Australian Financials Sector ETF at 9.40%. Each percentage is the reported weight of the individual holding, rather than a measure of its earnings or share-price movement.

Other disclosed positions include Commonwealth Bank Of Australia at 7.39%, State Street SPDR S&P/Asx 200 Financials Ex A-Reit ETF at 4.67%, Wesfarmers Limited at 3.36% and Woolworths Group Limited at 2.75%. The list includes other ETFs as well as direct shares. Underlying holdings inside those ETFs are not itemised in this table.

Management Fee and Distribution

The reported management fee is 0.72%. The distribution record identifies a interim distribution amount of AUD 0.060 per unit, with an ex-distribution date of 01 Oct 2026, a record date of 02 Oct 2026 and a payment date of 16 Oct 2026. The listed payment date falls after the record date and remains a scheduled date in this entry. The stated amount relates to this distribution rather than a forecast of subsequent payments.

Key Takeaways

Betashares Australian Dividend Harvester Active ETF (ASX:HVST) combines its stated investment framework with reported exposure to financial services. The holdings and allocation fields describe the portfolio’s composition, while the 0.72% management fee and interim distribution record provide separate cost and payment details. These records do not establish changes in company earnings or guarantee future distributions.
