*The NAV is generally calculated daily after all markets are closed for that day based on the closing price of the securities on the relevant foreign stock exchange. The NAV is then converted to AUD based on the relevant London WM Reuters 4pm exchange rate. This means, due to Australia’s time zone, that the NAV will generally not be updated until around 12pm next business day.

The tables above show past performance of the ETF from 8 September 2020. Index performance shown prior to 14 August 2020 is simulated based on the current Index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of dividends. ETF results are net of management fees and costs incurred in the fund, but before brokerage fees or bid/ask spreads incurred when investors buy/sell on the ASX. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance which may be lower or higher.
