FSCF questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF?
The issuer of First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF doesn't publish its holdings in a form we can read, so we can't measure how diversified it is. It is classed as cash with a Australia focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.
Which ETFs does FSCF double up with most?
We can't compare holdings for FSCF, as the issuer doesn't publish them in a form we can read, and no fund's returns track it closely, so it offers a fairly distinct exposure.
How is First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF managed – active or passive?
First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF is actively managed. Rather than tracking an index, a fund manager at First Sentier / Perpetual decides what to buy and sell, aiming to do better than the market after fees.
What will I pay in fees for FSCF?
FSCF charges a management fee of 0.20% a year, about $20 for every $10,000 invested. That is cheaper than 83% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track, where the median fee is 0.44%. Among Australian cash funds, the median is 0.15%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Betashares Australian High Interest Cash ETF (AAA) at 0.18%, iShares Core Cash ETF (BILL) at 0.07% and iShares Enhanced Cash ETF (ISEC) at 0.12%.
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 0.02% for FSCF.
Does First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF follow a theme?
No. First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF gives straightforward exposure to cash and short-term deposits rather than following a theme.
What is under the hood of FSCF?

How well has First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF performed?
Based on its category, First Sentier Active Cash Fund Active ETF aims mainly to pay a regular income, with capital growth secondary.
