Data powered by FE fundinfo. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The inception date of the Fund is 17 December 2020.

FE fundinfo calculates performance using the Australian FSC Standard by constructing a total value index series that reflects the percentage change in investments assuming the reinvestment of all distributions. A total value index series is constructed using the Ex-Distribution exit price, which is calculated at the end of a distribution period by deducting the distribution amount by the Cum distribution exit price.

Past performance figures that are less than 12 months are for informational purposes only and are not to be relied upon when considering the likely future performance of the Fund.

Data powered by FE fundinfo

Performance is calculated on a bid-to-bid basis with income reinvested. It is important to know that unit prices reflect the value of the underlying assets of the funds and so can go down as well as up.

Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Where a fund invests in overseas securities, the unit prices may also rise and fall purely on account of exchange rate fluctuations.

Credit spreads and defaults rates are important metrics to consider when evaluating credit markets; however, taking a single number into account to qualify such a diverse market is likely to lead to missed opportunities.
