The yield figure and the latest distribution

The fund data shows an annual yield of 5.40% for QAU. The most recent distribution was a final distribution of $1.660 per unit, with an ex-date of 1 July 2026 and a payment date of 16 July 2026. A fund that holds physical gold does not receive interest or dividends from its holding, and the data does not explain the source of the 5.40% annual yield figure or the $1.660 final distribution, so the figure should be read as shown in the data and not as income from the gold itself.

An annual yield in fund data summarises distributions over a period and is not a promise of future income. The size and timing of distributions can change with the income the fund receives, and for equity and property funds distributions can include capital gains. For this reason, the latest distribution amount, the distribution type and the dates are the most direct figures for a reader to compare.

What the ETF is designed to do

The fund aims to track the performance of the price of gold bullion, with a currency hedge against movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate, before fees and expenses. The Betashares Gold Bullion ETF invests its assets in the purchase of physical gold bullion, meaning bars of gold, from the National Bank of Canada, one of Canada’s oldest and largest prudentially regulated banks. Morningstar’s Commodities category covers funds with direct holdings or derivative securities providing exposure to changes in the price of commodities, and funds in that category do not receive a Morningstar rating.
