Source of fund performance data: Pendal. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. This information is for general information and is not to be regarded as a securities recommendation. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees” then this assumes reinvestment of distributions and is calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs but not tax you may pay as an investor. Where “Growth” returns are shown, these represent the percentage change in the value of units in the fund excluding any distributions paid. “Distribution” returns equal the difference between the “Total return (After fees)”, and the Growth return. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees and tax”, they are calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs and taxes paid within the trust up to a maximum of 15%. Where performance returns are quoted “Before fees and tax”, they exclude the effects of management costs and any taxes. You can view our Unit Pricing Discretions Policy here.

The aggregated estimated environmental and social outcomes shown above are based on data provided by the issuers of bond securities (Issuers) held by the Fund.

The estimate assumes your investment had remained in the Fund from 1 January to 31 December 2022, and that your investment proportion to the Fund’s total investment remains constant throughout the year.
