Betashares Declares Precise Distribution Amounts for February 2026

Betashares Announces February 2026 Distributions

Betashares Capital Ltd has released its final distribution amounts payable for February 2026 for a suite of 19 ETFs traded on the ASX AQUA market. This announcement covers a diverse range of funds, including fixed term corporate bond ETFs, Australian government and corporate bond ETFs, hybrid securities ETFs, and equity yield maximiser complexes.

The distributions reflect the income generated by these funds over the February period and are a key income event for investors relying on regular payouts. Distribution amounts vary by fund, with some funds offering partially franked distributions, which can provide tax advantages to Australian investors.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Important Dates

Betashares confirms the operation of a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) for all eligible funds, allowing investors to reinvest their distributions into additional units rather than receiving cash. The DRP price will be announced separately on 2 March 2026, with unit issuance scheduled for 17 March 2026. Investors wishing to participate must lodge their DRP elections by 5pm AEDT on 4 March 2026.

Key dates for investors include the ex-distribution date on 27 February 2026, the record date on 3 March 2026, and the payment date on 17 March 2026. To ensure timely receipt of distributions, investors are advised to verify their bank account details with the registrar before the record date.

Tax and Regulatory Considerations

Each distributing fund is classified as an Attribution Managed Investment Trust (AMIT) for the income year ending 28 February 2026. This classification means that the cash distributed may differ from the taxable income attributed to investors under AMIT tax rules. Detailed distribution component information and non-resident withholding tax details will be available on the Betashares website.

Investors are reminded that units trade on the ASX at market prices, which may differ from the net asset value, and that investments carry risks including potential loss of income and capital. Betashares advises investors to consult the relevant product disclosure statements and seek professional advice before making investment decisions.

Looking Ahead

As the distribution reinvestment prices are awaited and investors make their DRP decisions, market participants will be watching for any impact on unit prices and fund flows. The breadth of funds covered underscores Betashares’ extensive presence in the Australian ETF market, catering to income-focused investors across fixed income and equity strategies.
