Its country exposure is almost entirely Australia (100.0%), and its biggest sector is Information Technology at 54.8%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does ATEC double up with most?
ATEC shares the most holdings with Betashares Australian Sustainability Leaders ETF (FAIR) (18% overlap), VanEck S&P/ASX MidCap ETF (MVE) (15% overlap) and Global X Australia Ex Financials & Resources ETF (OZXX) (12% 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 ATEC with one of them adds some genuinely different holdings.
How is Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF managed – active or passive?
Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology 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 ATEC?
ATEC charges a management fee of 0.48% a year, about $48 for every $10,000 invested. Only 44% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Australian equity funds, the median is 0.35%.

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 ATEC.
Does Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF follow a theme?
Yes. Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF focuses on technology, and its largest sector is Information Technology at 54.8% 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 Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASIA) and Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF (HNDQ).

Together they make up 75.4% 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 75.4% compares with 51.2% for Australian equity funds.
How well has Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −30.9% over 1 year (median 0.6%; ranked 65 of 65), 6.2% a year over 3 years (median 11.6% a year; ranked 53 of 54) and −1.8% a year over 5 years (median 6.9% a year; ranked 47 of 48). The medians and rankings compare it with Australian equity funds. Since listing in 2020 it has returned 7.7% 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 ATEC; 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 0.48% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
