Ways to invest

This Fund is subject to the risk of stock market fluctuations. Investors accessing the Fund through a master trust or wrap account will also bear any fees charged by the operator of such master trust or wrap account. Any apparent discrepancies in the numbers are due to rounding.

An intraday optimised portfolio value (IOPV) for each fund will be published throughout the ASX trading day. The IOPVs are calculated by ICE Data Indices, LLC based on the latest price of each security, amongst other factors.  In equity constituent market value calculations, the last reported trade price from the composite feed (US) or primary listing exchange (non-US) is used for the latest price of each security, when those exchanges are open.  When those exchanges are closed, the IOPV calculation can incorporate the Real-Time Fair Value Information Service from ICE Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC which is a multi-factor model that calculates a real-time estimate of the price that would likely prevail in a liquid market for an equity security following the close of the local market.  For more information on Fair Value Information Service methodology, please refer to: https://www.theice.com/market-data/pricing-and-evaluations/fair-value.  

For IOPVs with fixed income securities, ICE Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC’s Continuous Evaluated Pricing (CEP) service can be used to price such fixed income securities. As market data becomes available and passes internal system tolerances and parameters, CEP will update throughout the day. While updates to CEP occur more frequently during local market trading hours, CEP will update outside of normal trading hours based on market information that is available at that time. For constituents where CEP is not available, either the prior day’s evaluation or a client-provided price may be used in the IOPV calculation instead. For more information about Continuous Evaluated Pricing, please refer to: https://www.theice.com/market-data/pricing-and-evaluations/cep
