  • Investment Results: DHHF has provided an average annual return of 12.69% since its inception on 15 December 2020, underscoring its success as an all-in-one growth-oriented investment solution aimed at long-term capital appreciation.

BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF) is $39.83 apiece, down 0.075% on Thursday.

DHHF targets growth investors, whose primary focus is capital gains.

It provides exposure to approximately 8,000 shares listed on more than 60 global exchanges.

Instead of following a single index like most exchange-traded funds (ETFs), DHHF invests in a selection of other ETFs.

About 37% of the portfolio is ASX shares, 43% is US shares, and the balance are international shares in developed and emerging markets.

These include Japan 3.6%, China 2.1%, Canada 1.7%, Britain 1.5%, Taiwan 1.4%, India 1.2%, and Germany 1.2%.

Betashares describes DHHF as "an all-in-one investment solution".

The provider says:

The Fund is invested in a blend of large, mid and small cap equities from Australia, global developed and emerging markets, offering investors exposure to an 'all-cap, all-world' share portfolio with the potential for high growth over the long term.

The ETF provides exposure to approximately 8,000 equity securities listed on over 60 global exchanges, in one ASX trade.

The DHHF ETF pays distributions, or dividends, quarterly.

Australian investors are automatically enrolled in the distribution reinvestment plan (DRP); however, you can opt out if you like.

The management fee is 0.19% per annum, which BetaShares says is the lowest fee for an all-in-one diversified growth ASX ETF.
