GGB Distribution Letter

Wednesday, 23 August 2023



Smartshares Global Government Bond ETF Distribution – August 2023

The Smartshares Global Government Bond ETF (GGB) was launched in June 2023, and pays quarterly distributions, where available, based on income received during that distribution calculation period from the underlying security.


For the period 29 June 2023 to 16 August 2023, the Fund has not received sufficient income to pay a distribution and cover forecast taxes and expenses. As a result, GGB will not pay a distribution for the period ending 31 August 2023.

















About Smartshares

Smartshares is the pioneer of ETFs in New Zealand, launching the first ETF (TNZ - the NZ Top 10 Fund) in 1996. Smartshares is New Zealand’s only issuer of ETFs listed on the NZX Main Board, with in excess of 21,000 unit holders and NZD $6 billion of funds under management. The Special Division of the New Zealand Markets Disciplinary Tribunal regulates Smartshares in a similar way to NZX Regulation’s regulation of other listed issuers. Smartshares funds are listed on NZX so you can buy or sell them just like individual shares. The listed funds are designed to “track” (or, in some cases, outperform) an index. Each Smartshares ETF is designed to provide investors with similar returns to a direct investment in all the securities that make up the ETF.
