Data powered by FE fundinfo

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Numbers may not add due to rounding. The Fund's inception date is 02 July 2009.  Performance figures are calculated after all fees and expenses and assumes all distributions are reinvested. From 1 January 2014, the benchmark of the Fund changed to the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index. Prior to this, the benchmark of the Fund was the RBA Cash Rate. 

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.
