The tables above shows past performance of GRNV from 27 April 2016. Effective 25 June 2019 GRNV’s reference index changed from S&P/ASX Franked Dividend Index (‘old index’) to MSCI Australia IMI Select SRI Screened Index (’new index’) with a change to the investment objective. The Blended Index* includes the old index performance from 27 April 2016 and the new index performance from 25 June 2019 onwards. The current index performance shown prior to its launch date on 7 June 2019 is simulated based on the current index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of dividends. ETF results are net of management fees and costs, but before brokerage fees or bid/ask spreads incurred when investors buy/sell on the ASX. Index performance excludes cost of investing in the ETF. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance which may be lower or higher.
