AAA is not a traditional share ETF. It invests in bank term deposits and cash accounts, aiming to deliver a rate broadly in line with the RBA cash rate. At approximately $5.2B AUM it is one of the largest cash ETFs in Australia and pays monthly income. During the 2022-2024 period of elevated interest rates, AAA returned 4-5% with minimal price volatility; past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns. As the RBA has cut rates in 2025-2026, the yield has declined. The current cash yield net of fees is 4.17% p.a. (as at May 2026); this yield is an estimate, is not guaranteed, and will change with the RBA cash rate. Price is effectively stable, no material capital gain or loss.
Based on publicly available fund data. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
