Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Performance figures for the funds shown are calculated before fund management fees and expenses, and assume immediate reinvestment of distributions rather than reinvestment via any Distribution Reinvestment Plan. Fund returns do not reflect the brokerage fees or the bid/ask spread that investors pay to buy and sell ETF securities on the Australian Securities Exchange. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when unit s are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted.
