Fidelity Asia Active ETF (ASX:FASI) seeks long-term capital growth through companies located in Asia and businesses elsewhere that derive a significant proportion of their earnings from the region. Its investment process uses in-house company research and a bottom-up approach to security selection.

Investment Mandate

The geographic mandate is based on both company location and the origin of earnings. Consequently, the investment universe is broader than securities listed only on Asian exchanges. Its reported portfolio combines technology, financial services and consumer cyclical holdings, with a different mix from the comparative category.

Sector Composition

The largest reported sector weights are technology at 35.98%, financial services at 17.73% and consumer cyclical at 16.58%. Basic Materials represents 8.74%, Industrials represents 8.35% and Communication Services represents 8.30%. These figures describe the sector allocation in the supplied portfolio record.

Technology represents 35.98% of the fund, below the category figure of 45.05%; Real Estate represents 0.00% of the fund, below the category figure of 3.64%. 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 37.60% to China. The next reported allocations are Taiwan at 16.35%, Hong Kong at 16.12%, India at 14.68% and South Korea at 8.54%. The asset-class record lists 96.07% in stocks and 3.93% 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 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd at 13.12%, Techtronic Industries Co Ltd at 8.02% and Tencent Holdings Ltd at 7.97%. 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 AIA Group Ltd at 5.52%, Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Co Ltd at 5.14%, Advanced Micro-fabrication Equipment Inc Class A at 4.80% and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd at 4.57%. The reported total holding count is 35 companies. The selected entries describe part of that portfolio and do not exhaust the remaining holdings.

Management Fee and Distribution

The reported management fee is 1.15%. The distribution record identifies a final distribution amount of AUD 0.761 per unit, with an ex-distribution date of 01 Jul 2026, a record date of 02 Jul 2026 and a payment date of 20 Jul 2026. The amount relates to the specified distribution and does not establish the size of subsequent payments. The fee and distribution are separate financial fields and should not be treated as interchangeable measures.

Key Takeaways

Fidelity Asia Active ETF (ASX:FASI) combines its stated investment framework with reported exposure to technology. The holdings and allocation fields describe the portfolio’s composition, while the 1.15% management fee and final distribution record provide separate cost and payment details. These records do not establish changes in company earnings or guarantee future distributions.
