Schroder Absolute Return Income Active ETF

Schroder Absolute Return Income Active ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund focused on generating regular monthly income and capital preservation within the fixed income sector. Its primary function is to provide stable returns by investing across a broad universe of fixed income assets, predominantly targeting Australian and international investment-grade issuers, and also utilizing currencies to enhance income opportunities. The fund’s absolute return approach means it is unconstrained by traditional benchmarks, giving portfolio managers flexibility to respond dynamically to prevailing market conditions and control risk with agility. Schroder Absolute Return Income Active ETF is designed to maintain a consistent income target—recently noted as 4.8% per annum—paid monthly, while aiming to avoid negative returns over any rolling 12-month period. This ETF serves as a liquid, transparent tool for income-focused investors and those nearing retirement who seek rate protection with a lower volatility profile than equities, but without the capital guarantee of term deposits. Its active management is backed by Schroders’ experienced global investment team, and the fund can act as a small or core component in low to medium risk portfolios requiring dependable income and capital protection throughout various stages of the business cycle.
