FTSE RAFI U.S. 1000 ETF

OVERVIEW

About

Core portfolio holding for US equities – broad economic representation, transparency, diversification
Low cost complement and/or alternative to investments with active fund managers

Chart

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.
