Where the money is

The issuer does not publish machine-readable holdings for this fund, so exposures and holdings overlap are not available. Return correlations still are.

IMPQ questions answered

Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.

How diversified is Perennial Better Future Active ETF?

The issuer of Perennial Better Future 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 equity with a Australia focus; the product disclosure statement (PDS) and the issuer's fact sheet list what it owns.

Which ETFs does IMPQ double up with most?

We can't compare holdings for IMPQ, 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 Perennial Better Future Active ETF managed – active or passive?

Perennial Better Future Active ETF is actively managed. Rather than tracking an index, a fund manager at Perennial decides what to buy and sell, aiming to do better than the market after fees.

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 IMPQ?

IMPQ charges a management fee of 0.99% a year, about $99 for every $10,000 invested. Only 11% 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%.

Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (VAS) at 0.07%, Betashares Australia 200 ETF (A200) at 0.04% and iShares Core S&P/ASX 200 ETF (IOZ) at 0.05%.

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 0.58% for IMPQ.

Does Perennial Better Future Active ETF follow a theme?

No. Perennial Better Future Active ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Australia) rather than one theme or sector.

What is under the hood of IMPQ?

The issuer doesn't publish IMPQ's holdings in a form we can read. Its website and fact sheet list the full portfolio.

As an active fund it has no index rule: the manager decides which investments to hold and how much of each, within the limits set out in the PDS.

How well has Perennial Better Future Active ETF performed?

Based on its category, Perennial Better Future Active ETF aims to grow your capital faster than its market after fees.

To 23 Oct 2026, with distributions reinvested, it returned −19.2% over 1 year (median 0.6%; ranked 64 of 65), −1.9% a year over 3 years (median 11.6% a year; ranked 54 of 54) and −6.1% a year over 5 years (median 6.9% a year; ranked 48 of 48). The medians and rankings compare it with Australian equity funds. Since listing in 2019 it has returned 1.8% a year.

As an active fund, IMPQ has no index to track. The fairer test is whether it beats similar funds and its market after fees, over several years.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
