Please see the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for further details. Although the above information is taken from sources believed to be accurate, no warranty is given as to its accuracy, completeness or availability. Pricing: For daily priced funds, unit prices are calculated each business day based upon the net value of each fund divided by the number of units on issue in each fund. Unit prices may be delayed following the end of a distribution period or for other reasons. The Buy/Sell spread is applied to increase the purchase unit price by an allowance for the estimated costs of the purchase of assets in the fund and to reduce the redemption unit price by an allowance for the estimated costs of the sale of assets in the fund.
