The NAV is generally calculated daily after all markets are closed for that day based on the closing price of the securities on the relevant foreign stock exchange. The NAV is then converted to AUD based on the relevant London WM Reuters 4pm exchange rate. This means, due to Australia’s time zone, that the NAV will generally not be updated until around 12 noon next business day.

The tables above show past performance of the ETF from 8 March 2021. Index performance shown prior to 15 February 2021 ("Launch Date") is simulated based on the current Index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of distributions. 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. 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.
The MSCI World ex Australia Index ("MSCI World ex Aus") is shown for comparison purposes as it is the widely recognised benchmark used to measure the performance of developed market large- and mid-cap companies, weighted by market capitalisation. VLUE's index measures the performance of 250 companies selected from MSCI World ex Aus based on MSCI value scores, weighted by market cap x value score at rebalance. Consequently VLUE's index has fewer companies and different country and industry allocations than MSCI World ex Aus.
