Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF · Betashares
Around 150 large global companies (outside Australia) picked for 'quality' signals — strong, steady profits, low debt and reliable earnings.
What the fee costs you
The management fee is 0.35% a year. Here’s what that works out to in dollars:
A 0.35% yearly fee works out to about $35 a year per $10,000 invested.
A rough guide based on the headline fee only. Other costs (such as brokerage or buy/sell spreads) aren’t included.
The basics
- Issuer
- Betashares

- ~150
- Where it invests
- Global developed markets, around 70% United States, with Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France making up much of the rest.
- Income paid
- Half-yearly
- Currency hedged
- No — It's unhedged, so for an Australian investor the value also moves with the Australian dollar against foreign currencies, on top of the markets themselves. (Betashares' HQLT is the hedged version.)
Its character
A quality-screened take on global shares: rather than holding the whole market, it leans toward companies that score well on profitability, low debt and reliable earnings. Still heavily weighted to large US names.
What to keep in mind
The quality screen narrows it to fewer companies than a broad world fund, and it still leans on the United States and large companies. It also carries currency movements for an Australian holder.
How this fund relates to others
A 'quality' subset of the developed-world universe; it shares the big US-led names held by broad global funds but holds fewer companies, so it overlaps in the largest holdings while concentrating more. HQLT is its currency-hedged twin holding the same shares.
