The gold spot price (per ounce) soared from ~US$1,780 to ~US$1,974 over July

as second wave fears of COVID-19 remained the prevailing market narrative.

Perth Mint Gold (ASX:PMGOLD) is a right to gold created by The Perth Mint,

which gives investors the ability to purchase Government-backed gold. Statistically

it accounts for over 90% of Australia and Asia’s gold production annually. This is

equivalent to more than 10% of global gold production. However a recent

investigation by The Australian Financial Review has revealed the historic mint

repeatedly ignored staff concerns over supply chains resulting from small-scale

gold miners in PNG, a practice thwart with environmental degradation and

criticised for its use of child labour. Such allegations would be in breach of its

global accreditation and internal policies.

ETFS Physical Gold (ASX:GOLD) is an alternative investment vehicle with a

simple, cost-efficient and secure way to access gold by providing a return

equivalent to the movements in the Australian dollar price of gold less a daily

management fee. The securities are backed by physical allocated gold bullion held

by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (the Custodian). Only gold that conforms with the

London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) rules for Good Delivery can be

accepted by the custodian. Oversight of ethical, social and corporate governance

criteria may help to better predict the future performance of ETFs and their

constituent securities.

Geared funds.

2 new geared ETFs began trading on the ASX in July. ETFS Ultra Long Nasdaq 100 Hedge

Fund (LNAS) aims to provide investors with geared returns (before fees and expenses),

that are positively related with and significantly magnified against the performance of the

Nasdaq 100 Index. Meanwhile, ETFS Ultra Short Nasdaq 100 Hedge Fund (SNAS) aims to

provide investors with geared returns (before fees and expenses), that are negatively related

with, and significantly magnified against the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index. The

magnitude by which returns are generated from time to time may be greater than, or less than

the movement in the index, depending primarily upon the degree leverage applied during the

time in which returns are calculated (where leverage will be within the disclosed target range).

LNAS and SNAS primarily uses E-mini Nasdaq 100 Futures contracts listed on the Chicago

Mercantile Exchange. LNAS/SNAS are not recommended as long-term portfolio positions.

Furthermore, the funds are currency hedged, meaning that the fund manager will aim to

reduce, but may not eliminate, exposure to movements in the Australian dollar/U.S. dollar

exchange rate.

Rebalancing

As the Nasdaq 100 moves up and down the amount of gearing in either fund changes and the

fund manager needs to rebalance the exposure to ensure it remains within the target range.

This means the performance of an investment in either fund is not likely to exactly replicate the

index return multiplied by the leverage/exposure over more than short periods of time, due to

the effects of rebalancing, the effect of which is compounded over time.

Risks

Derivative investments are higher risk compared to other investments. Investors have no right

to the assets referenced by the derivatives contracts. Gearing magnifies and increases the

extent of both gains and losses (investors in SNAS or LNAS will not lose more than they have

invested). The leverage amount can vary at any point in time meaning returns may not exactly

replicate the index multiplied by the leverage factor for periods longer than approximately one

day. Please refer to Section 5 of the LNAS/SNAS Product Disclosure Statement (1 Jul 2020).

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF Currency

Hedged (HNDQ). The investment objective of HNDQ is to provide an investment return that aims to track the

performance of the Nasdaq 100 Currency Hedged AUD Index (the “index”), before taking into

account fees and expenses.

Index objective

The Nasdaq 100 Currency Hedged AUD Index is designed to measure the performance of 100

of the largest Nasdaq listed non-financial companies, hedged back to the Australian dollar.

Investment approach

In seeking to achieve the investment objective, the Responsible Entity will employ a passive

management approach with the aim of tracking the performance of the index, before fees and

expenses. The fund currently obtains its investment exposure indirectly by investing in the

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (NDQ), being the unhedged version of the fund. The underlying

fund will generally seek to invest in the securities that comprise the unhedged index in

proportion to the weightings of the securities in the unhedged index. This is known as a full

replication strategy.

Eligible security types of index inclusion generally include American Depository Receipts

(ADRs), common stock, ordinary shares, tracking stocks, shares of beneficial interest and

limited partnership interests. The index is a modified market capitalisation-weighted index,

which is rebalanced on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December. Nasdaq

selects constituents once annually in December. Each security must have a minimum average

daily trading volume of 200,000 shares (measured over the three calendar months ending with

the month that includes the re-constitution reference date). There is no market capitalisation

eligibility criterion.

Risks

Please refer to Section 4 of the HNDQ Product Disclosure Statement (1 Jun 2020).

BetaShares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF

Currency Hedged (HETH). The investment objective of HETH is to provide an investment return that aims to track the

performance of the Nasdaq Future Global Sustainability Leaders Currency Hedged AUD Index

(the “index”), before taking into account fees and expenses.

Index objective

The Nasdaq Future Global Sustainability Leaders Currency Hedged AUD Index is an

opportunity for responsible investors to access a genuinely fossil fuel free and ESG screened

passive global investment portfolio, hedged back to the Australian dollar.

Investment approach

In seeking to achieve the investment objective, the Responsible Entity will employ a passive

management approach with the aim of tracking the performance of the index, before fees and

expenses. The fund currently obtains its investment exposure indirectly by investing in the

Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ETHI), being the unhedged version of the fund.

The underlying fund will generally seek to invest in the securities that comprise the unhedged

index in proportion to the weightings of the securities in the unhedged index. This is known as

a full replication strategy. The fund, from time to time, may not hold all of the securities

comprising the index and may hold securities in weightings which differ from the Index.

To be eligible for index inclusion, securities must meet a series of responsible investment

screens. The index is evaluated annually in May. At each evaluation, the Responsible

Investment Committee will provide Nasdaq with a list of globally sustainable companies they

have identified. The securities ranked 1-200 by market capitalisation are selected. At each

annual May evaluation, the index is also rebalanced such that the maximum weight of any

single security does not exceed 4.0% of the index. The excess weight of any capped security is

distributed proportionally across the remaining securities.

Risks

Please refer to Section 4 of the HETH Product Disclosure Statement (1 Jun 2020).

Domestic Equity ETFs.

The recovery in domestic equities slowed over July as Victoria reported an influx of

Coronavirus cases. This peaked on the 29th when the state recorded 723 new cases in the

span of 24 hours. Accordingly, the All Ordinaries Accumulation and S&P ASX 200

Accumulation Indices returned 0.9% and 0.5% respectively. Small caps outperformed their

large cap counterparts, with the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index returning

1.4%. On this note, K2 Asset Australian Small Cap Fund (KSM) was the top performing

domestic focused ETF with a total return of 4.9%. KSM is an exchange traded managed fund

which actively invests in small cap listed equities in Australia and New Zealand, seeking to

deliver consistent absolute returns. Major contributing holdings for the fund included Netwealth

(NWL) and NZ retirement provider Summerset (SUM) which rose 34% and 21% in the period.

BetaShares Australian Equities Strong Bear Hedge Fund (BBOZ) received the largest

net fund inflows over the month with ~$66m. BBOZ was however, one of the poorer performing

domestic ETFs, delivering investors with a return of -1.4%. The high level of net inflows is an

indicator of diminishing bull market sentiment from investors. BBOZ is a geared fund which

seeks to generate magnified returns that are negatively correlated to the Australian share

market. The strategy aims to provide the return on a given day basis and due to the effects of

rebalancing and compounding of investment returns, this may not be reflected in periods

longer than a given day.

Total FUM declined over July predominantly due to net fund outflows from iShares Core S&P/

ASX 200 ETF (IOZ) and SPDR S&P/ASX 200 Fund (STW). These were the main detractors

from a possible all-time high, pulling a combined $286.4m out of domestic equity ETFs. This

behaviour further cements the possible bearish outlook held on Australian equities. Both IOZ

and STW seek to closely match, before fees and expenses, the returns of the S&P/ASX 200

Index. Hence investors are now seeking to move away large float-adjusted market cap stocks,

instead finding new-found reassurance in global equities, fixed interest and commodities.

Global Equity ETFs.

Net inflows of ~$620m into global equity ETFs were recorded in July, as the total FUM

approached January 2020’s month-end high. BetaShares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF

(ETHI) recorded the highest net inflows with ~$94m. ETHI aims to track the performance

of the Nasdaq Future Global Sustainability Leaders Index before fees and expenses. The fund

will generally invest in a portfolio of global equity securities that comprise the index and with

similar proportionate weights. The index employs negative screens designed to exclude

companies materially engaged in activities deemed inconsistent with responsible investment

considerations; such as fossil fuels, gambling, tobacco and armaments. On the other hand,

positive screens aim to provide exposure to companies that show a commitment to ethical

principles and a responsible way of operating.

The top performing ETF for the month was BetaShares Global Gold Miners ETF Currency

Hedged ($A) (MNRS), returning 18.6%. MNRS aims to replicate the performance of the

NASDAQ Global Ex-Australia Gold Miners Hedged AUD Index. MNRS provides investors with

diversification benefits, enabling them to spread risk beyond the relatively small Australian gold

mining sector. For instance, Australia comprised just 4.9% of the fund’s country allocation as at

31 July 2020. Canada and South America accounted for the bulk of this, with country allocation

weights of 49.1% and 14.3% respectively. MNRS also offers defensive benefits as gold miners’

fortunes are closely linked to the price of gold.

BlackRock products led the global net outflows with iShares S&P 500 ETF (IVV) recording net

outflows of ~$24m for the month. IVV seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index

before fees and expenses. The index is designed to measure the performance of large

capitalisation US equities. Thus, it is heavily weighted towards Information Technology and

Healthcare. Top underlying holdings for 31 July included Silicon Valley’s Apple, Alphabet

(Google) and Facebook. The Australian dollar hedged equivalent iShares S&P 500 AUD

Hedged ETF (IHVV) also experienced net outflows of ~$14m.

Fixed Interest ETFs.

Domestic fixed interest ETFs continued to strengthen, albeit diminishing from the previous

month, with net inflows of ~$392m. This was predominantly led by BetaShares Australian High

Interest Cash ETF (AAA), which recorded net inflows of ~$166m. AAA aims to provide

exposure to Australian cash deposits with attractive monthly income distributions that exceed

the 30 day Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) after fees and expenses. The interest rate earned on

the fund’s bank deposits, net of management costs, was 0.64% p.a. as at 21 August 2020.

AAA provides investors with monthly distributions. The fund generated a distribution yield of

1.1% as at 31 July 2020 (calculated using trailing 12 month ex-dividends).

Global fixed interest ETFs also bolstered over July, recording net inflows of ~$64m.

Commodity & Currency ETFs.

Following consecutive monthly decreases, commodity net inflows rebounded in July to

~$211m. ETFS Physical Gold (GOLD) and Betashares Gold Bullion ETF Currency Hedged

($A) (QAU) received the majority of net inflows with ~$136m and ~$41m respectively.

The demand for commodity exposure continues to rise in light of unprecedented quantitative

easing on a global scale. ETFS Physical Silver (ETPMAG) was the highest performer,

delivering a monthly return of 29.4%. One year returns now stand at 39.7%. ETPMAG is

backed by physical allocated silver held by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Only silver that

conforms with the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) rules for Good Delivery can be

accepted by the Custodian. No new securities can be issued until the bullion is delivered to the

Custodian. Each security represents an effective entitlement to silver, which changes daily to

reflect the accrual of the fund’s management fee (0.49% p.a. as at 31 July 2020).

Appendix.

How an ETF operates:

ETFs are open ended securities that trade on an exchange. Open ended denotes that new products can be created and

redeemed on the Primary Market, without the requirement to release a new prospectus, ad infinitum. The open ended

nature of ETFs is unique to this product class, and what keeps the underlying Net Asset Value (NAV) in line with the

assets’ market price. This process is managed by the Authorised Participants and Market Makers who are engaged by the

ETF operator to continually create and redeem shares to ensure the discount to NAV is managed within a defined range.

This results in a two tiered market structure: The Primary Market and the Secondary Market. The Primary Market is the

market in which Market Makers, via the Authorised Participants, are able to create and redeem units. The Secondary

Market is the market in which investors are able to buy and sell these units on an exchange.

Mechanics of the Primary Market

The Authorised Participant applies to the issuer to create new ETF units via creation units. In return for each creation unit,

the Authorised Participant will deliver a basket of securities that has been specified by the Issuer. This basket will be

transferred and held by a Custodian. Following settlement, the Authorised Participant has an inventory of ETF securities

(shares) that can be accessed by the Market Makers and sold on the ASX in the Secondary Market.

The redemption process operates in a similar manner. The Authorised Participant applies to redeem the securities in

creation units. In return for each creation unit, the Authorised Participant will receive a basket of securities in kind. Each

ETF security effectively represents a sliver of a creation unit.

Mechanics of the Secondary Market

The Secondary Market is the market in which investors are able to buy and sell ETF units with the assistance of the

Market Maker. The Market Maker will access the Authorised Participants (Primary Market) if additional inventory is

required (create) or alternatively sold (redeem), to in effect make the market. Hence, the liquidity of the ETF is as liquid as

the underlying market.

The Market Maker effectively ensures liquidity in the market place by quoting Buy and Sell prices during the trading day.

These prices are continuously updated to reflect the underlying changes in the securities. The ETF Issuer generally has a

formal arrangement with at least one Market Maker with a mandate to make the market within a specified range of spread.

However, in dislocated markets, Market Makers can suspend operations until the market stabilises.
