For Immediate Release
Ausbil Investment Management (Ausbil) is pleased to announce plans to introduce its first exchange- traded Fund (ETF) for its Active Dividend Income strategy in the first half of 2025.

The Ausbil Active Dividend Income strategy has proven popular among investors, demonstrating significant growth in assets under management. The strategy focuses on maximising dividend income and franking credits, aiming to deliver a consistent income stream that grows with inflation over time. By employing an active management approach, the strategy has the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions and seize attractive income opportunities.

“We are excited to broaden the accessibility of the Ausbil Active Dividend Income Fund through the upcoming ETF launch,” said Mark Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Ausbil. “By offering an ETF, we aim to cater to the growing demand from investors and self-managed superannuation funds seeking convenient and efficient access to our income-focused investment solutions,” Knight added.

Michael Price, the strategy’s portfolio manager, sees a substantial opportunity in the Australian listed market for active dividend income managers. “While there are several passive, rules-based options available, we believe Ausbil’s active management approach provides a distinct competitive advantage,” he said. “Through rigorous security selection and dynamic portfolio positioning, we strive to offer investors a more rewarding tax effective dividend-focused investment experience.”

The Active Dividend Income ETF will be Ausbil’s inaugural ETF listing.
