How is Global X Australia 300 ETF managed – active or passive?
Global X Australia 300 ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Australian equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.85% a year and index funds 0.34%.
What will I pay in fees for A300?
A300 charges a management fee of 0.03% a year, about $3 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 99% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Australian equity funds, the median is 0.35%.
It is the cheapest of the 35 broad Australian equity funds we track.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Dimensional Australian Core Equity Trust - Active ETF (DACE) at 0.28% and Airlie Australian Share Fund - Active ETF (AASF) at 0.78% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.11% for A300.
Does Global X Australia 300 ETF follow a theme?
No. Global X Australia 300 ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Australia) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of A300?
As at 2 Sept 2026, A300's ten largest holdings are BHP Group Ltd (12.2%), Commonw Bk Austr (9.9%), Natl Aust Bank (4.4%), Westpac Banking (4.4%), ANZ Group Holdin (4.2%), Wesfarmers Ltd (3.2%), Macquarie Group (3.2%), CSL Ltd (3.1%), Rio Tinto Ltd (2.4%) and Woodside Energy (2.3%). Together they make up 49.5% of the fund.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for A300's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 49.5% compares with 53.0% for similar funds.
How well has Global X Australia 300 ETF performed?
Based on its category, Global X Australia 300 ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 0.5% over 1 year (median 0.6%; ranked 34 of 65). The medians and rankings compare it with Australian equity funds. Since listing in 2025 it has returned 2.6% a year.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for A300; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.03% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
