Net Performance

This is historical performance data. It should be noted investment values can rise and fall and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Figures may not add up due to rounding. All p.a. returns are annualised.
1 Inception date is 12 December 2016.
# Fund Total Return refers to the Portfolio Return grossed up for franking credits after management fees and operating costs, excluding taxation.
+ Franking Return is the performance attributable to the benefit of Franking credits generated within the Fund. Franking credits are included on the dividend ex-date, which is in line with the calculation methodology of the benchmark. Where the Fund does not subsequently satisfy the relevant holding period rules, which may be up to 45 days after the dividend ex-date, any associated franking credits will be reversed on the date the relevant holding period rules are not satisfied. This may result in the Franking Return being negatively impacted.
^ Benchmark Return refers to the S&P/ASX 200 Franking Credit Adjusted Daily Total Return Index (Tax-Exempt).
