About PWER

PWER is a new property & infrastructure ETF from First Sentier, listed on the ASX on 15 October 2026. An active global listed infrastructure fund, hedged to the Australian dollar: toll roads, airports, pipelines, and power, gas and water utilities.

At the end of October 2026 it held $147m. Its size suggests an existing unlisted fund that has added an ETF version. Source: ASX monthly investment products report.

The management fee is 0.95% a year, about $95 on every $10,000 invested, dearer than the typical property & infrastructure ETF at 0.47%. It listed after our latest data (30 September 2026), so its size, flows and returns will appear once it's in the next TMX Australia funds report.

Is PWER in a base or a trend?

PWER doesn't have enough price history yet (about 11 months) for a reliable trend reading, or it is a cash-like fund whose price barely moves.

Why it matters: Every ETF moves between bases and trends. Knowing which stage it is in helps decide when to buy a satellite, and when to wait.

At ETF Adviser the core of a portfolio stays invested through every stage, and satellite ETFs are only bought in an uptrend. Members get a weekly update on which ETFs are breaking out of a base and which trends have broken.

Why no chart? This ETF does not have a reliable 12-month price history yet.
