Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
Inception date refers to the inception of the Fund's current investment strategy. Prior to the inception date, the Fund traded under a different investment strategy, and was subject to different management costs. Information about the Fund's performance prior to the current strategy inception date is available on request by emailing info@betashares.com.au or calling 1300 487 577.
