What is the VanEck Bentham Global Capital Securities Active ETF (Managed Fund)?

Looking for income?

While Australian income investors have long loved Aussie hybrids, accessing the international equivalent (called global capital securities) has historically proved challenging. Enter the GCAP ETF. Launched in 2021, GCAP is the first and only active global capital securities ETF on ASX.

GCAP offers monthly income with global exposures and opportunities previously only available to institutional grade investors. 

Like Aussie hybrids, global capital securities typically pay a higher interest rate than bonds, reflective of their higher risk profile. Global capital securities are typically less risky than equities.
