Does Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF follow a theme?
No. Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (United States) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of HNDQ?
As at 2 Sept 2026, the largest issuers among HNDQ's holdings are Nvidia Corp (8.8%), Apple Inc (7.7%), Alphabet Inc (6.1% across 2 bonds), Microsoft Corp (5.9%), Micron Technology Inc (4.8%), Amazon.com Inc (4.4%), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (3.3%), Tesla Inc (2.9%), Meta Platforms Inc (2.8%) and Broadcom Inc (2.8%).
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 HNDQ's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 49.5% compares with 37.6% for similar funds.
How well has Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF performed?
Based on its category, Betashares NASDAQ 100 ETF - Currency Hedged ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned 15.5% over 1 year (median 6.6%; ranked 1 of 27), 24.3% a year over 3 years (median 16.2% a year; ranked 2 of 18) and 11.5% a year over 5 years (median 11.9% a year; ranked 6 of 11). The medians and rankings compare it with United States equity funds. Since listing in 2020 it has returned 15.0% 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 HNDQ; 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 0.51% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
