Its largest country exposure is Germany at 29.9%, and its biggest sector is Industrials at 22.2%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.

At 76%, owning both HEUR and ESTX would mostly double up on the same investments rather than spread your money further. Of these, ESTX has the lowest fee, at 0.35% a year against 0.56% for HEUR.
How is Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged managed – active or passive?
Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.85% a year and index funds 0.43%.
What will I pay in fees for HEUR?
HEUR charges a management fee of 0.56% a year, about $56 for every $10,000 invested. Only 36% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among equity funds, the median is 0.49%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard FTSE Europe Shares ETF (VEQ) at 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 0.14% for HEUR.
Does Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged follow a theme?
No. Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Europe) rather than one theme or sector. Its largest sector, Industrials, is 22.2% of the fund.
What is under the hood of HEUR?
As at 2 Sept 2026, HEUR's ten largest holdings are Asml Holding NV (10.7%), Siemens AG (4.0%), Banco Santander SA (3.9%), Sap SE (3.8%), Allianz SE (3.5%), Totalenergies SE (3.3%), Schneider Electric SE (3.2%), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentari (2.9%), Iberdrola SA (2.5%) and Airbus SE (2.5%). Together they make up 40.1% 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 HEUR's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 40.1% compares with 40.5% for similar funds.
How well has Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged performed?
Based on its category, Betashares Europe ETF - Currency Hedged aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 9.7% over 1 year (median 4.7%; ranked 67 of 273), 17.1% a year over 3 years (median 14.4% a year; ranked 65 of 199) and 8.5% a year over 5 years (median 8.0% a year; ranked 72 of 156). The medians and rankings compare it with equity funds. Since listing in 2016 it has returned 9.6% 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 HEUR; 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 0.56% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
