Betashares FTSE 100 ETF (ASX:F100) provides exposure to 100 of the largest companies by Market Capitalisation traded on the London Stock Exchange. It seeks to track the FTSE 100 Index before fees and expenses. On 5 November 2026, F100 touched 52-week high of AUD 15.76 during the session. The quoted unit price at 4:10 pm Sydney time was also AUD 15.76, with a displayed daily gain of 3.54%.

Banks and energy companies shape the sector mix

Financial services account for 26.13% of the portfolio. Industrials represent 14.10%, consumer defensive businesses 13.72%, healthcare 12.23% and energy 12.20%. Other exposures include basic materials at 7.83% and utilities at 4.78%. The sector mix gives the fund exposure to several different sources of corporate earnings.

HSBC Holdings is the largest position at 10.20%, followed by Shell at 8.27% and AstraZeneca at 7.31%. Rolls-Royce Holdings accounts for 4.86%, while Unilever represents 3.79%. BP, British American Tobacco, Rio Tinto, GSK and Lloyds Banking Group complete the ten largest positions. Together, these holdings account for 49.51%.

The concentration of nearly half the portfolio in ten companies is relevant despite the broader 100-company exposure. Movements in major banking, energy and pharmaceutical holdings can influence the fund materially. The holdings figures describe portfolio composition without establishing that any individual company caused the session’s price increase.

Currency exposure and fund costs remain relevant

The geographic allocation is predominantly the United Kingdom at 93.43%. A company’s geographic classification does not identify every country from which it earns revenue. London-listed businesses can operate internationally, leaving their Earnings exposed to economic conditions beyond the UK.

F100 is not currency hedged. Changes in the Australian dollar relative to sterling can therefore affect the Australian-dollar value of its overseas Equity exposure. Trading the ETF in Australian dollars does not remove that currency sensitivity.

Management fees and costs are listed at 0.45% per annum. Investors may also incur brokerage and the bid–offer spread when trading units. The latest listed distribution is AUD 0.339 per unit, with an ex-distribution date of 1 July 2026, Record Date of 2 July and payment date of 16 July. That amount does not establish a fixed future payment.

Key insights

F100’s 52-week-high touch is a trading milestone for an index-based UK equity allocation. Its Investment characteristics continue to reflect the FTSE 100’s sector mix, concentration in leading constituents and exposure to foreign-currency movements.

Bank funding conditions, energy prices, company earnings and changes in interest-rate expectations can affect different parts of the portfolio. Index tracking does not remove these market risks. The session high also provides no assurance about subsequent prices, future distributions or whether the ETF will maintain that level.
