ASIA questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF?
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF holds 50 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 68.6% of the fund, more concentrated than the 42.2% typical of Asia equity funds. That makes it fairly concentrated.
Its largest country exposure is Taiwan at 42.5%, and its biggest sector is Information Technology at 75.5%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does ASIA double up with most?
ASIA shares the most holdings with iShares Asia 50 ETF (IAA) (42% overlap), Betashares MSCI Emerging Markets Complex ETF (BEMG) (27% overlap) and Vanguard FTSE Asia Ex-Japan Shares Index ETF (VAE) (27% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
None of these overlaps is above half, so pairing ASIA with one of them adds some genuinely different holdings.
How is Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Asia equity funds, active funds charge a median 1.18% a year and index funds 0.58%.
What will I pay in fees for ASIA?
ASIA charges a management fee of 0.67% a year, about $67 for every $10,000 invested. Only 26% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Asia equity funds, the median is 0.60%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ) at 0.48%, Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG) at 0.35% and Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF (HNDQ) at 0.51%.
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 0.09% for ASIA.
Does Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF focuses on technology, and its largest sector is Information Technology at 75.5% of the fund. Thematic funds are narrower than the broad market, so they can rise or fall much more than it does.
Other ASX funds with a technology focus include Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF (NDQ), Global X FANG+ ETF (FANG), Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF (HNDQ) and Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ATEC).
What is under the hood of ASIA?
As at 2 Sept 2026, ASIA's ten largest holdings are Sk Hynix Inc (14.1%), Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (10.7%), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufactu (9.1%), Mediatek Inc (7.8%), Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (7.0%), Tencent Holdings Ltd (6.9%), Delta Electronics Inc (4.3%), Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (3.5%), Ase Technology Holding Co Ltd (3.1%) and Sea Ltd (2.4%). Together they make up 68.6% of the fund.
It follows an index; the issuer's PDS sets out how that index chooses and weights its holdings. Its top 10 weighting of 68.6% compares with 42.2% for Asia equity funds.
How well has Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 26.0% over 1 year (median −5.7%; ranked 3 of 17), 36.0% a year over 3 years (median 14.8% a year; ranked 2 of 14) and 12.9% a year over 5 years (median 4.8% a year; ranked 3 of 13). The medians and rankings compare it with Asia equity funds. Since listing in 2018 it has returned 15.6% 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 ASIA; 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 0.67% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
