From inception of the fund to 29 January 2023, fund performance has not been calculated using the unit prices for transacting into and out of the fund. In this period, transactional prices have been calculated by the custodian using security prices available at NZ market close, while the benchmark is calculated using the security prices at the close of the different global markets. This pricing methodology difference causes an embedded lagging effect.   The performance from this period has been calculated using accounting methods.  The performance calculation is measured as net income generated over the period inclusive of fees and tax.  Tax is calculated applying a PIR of 28% on taxable income. Net performance data shown is net of fees and assumes reinvestment of income.  
From 30 January 2023, the custodian updated their pricing methodology to correct the lagging effect however, these unit prices are still not used to calculate performance because the custodian’s performance is inclusive of a withholding tax credit.  Therefore, for performance we continue to rely on the custodian’s accounting methodology to calculate performance.
