The performance data is updated on a monthly basis.
Total returns are calculated:
- using the sell (exit) price
- net of management fees
- gross of tax
- as if distributions of income have been reinvested at the actual distribution reinvestment price
- the actual returns received by an investor will depend on the timing, buy and exit price of individual transactions.
Figures showing a period of less than one year have not been adjusted to show an annual total return. Figures for periods of greater than one year are on a per annum compound basis.
Return of capital and the performance of your investment in the fund are not guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
