Notes
The inception date is the date when the ETF was seeded prior to being quoted for trading on the ASX. Performance is calculated from this date.
Past performance is not an indication of future performance. Returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Total returns are after management costs. Benchmark returns do not allow for management costs. Total returns assume that
an investor purchases shares at Net Asset Value (NAV) and does not reflect the transaction costs imposed on the creation and redemptions of ETF units, brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors pay to buy and sell ETF securities on
the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Returns for periods longer than 12 months are annualised.
3 Figures are expressed in AUD and are converted (when applicable) using WM/Reuters Closing Spot Rates taken at 4pm London time.
