Since inception
Fund returns are after fees and at 0% PIR tax. Returns for periods more than a year are annualised to be per annum (p.a.). See our full performance disclaimer for more details.
Risk
The risk indicator reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way. The lowest risk rating doesn’t mean “risk-free” and this risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance.
