*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 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 1pm next business day.

The table above shows past performance of the Fund from 11 February 2020 and of the Benchmark from 31 December 2015. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of distributions.
