PIE tax treatment — capped at your PIR (max 28%)

This fund is a Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) under Subpart HM of the Income Tax Act 2007. Income is taxed at your Prescribed Investor Rate (10.5% / 17.5% / 28%), not your marginal income-tax rate. The fund manager calculates and pays the tax on your behalf — when your PIR is correct, you usually don't need to declare PIE income in your annual tax return. See our PIR guide and PIE tax basics for the full picture, or use the PIR calculator to confirm your rate.

Responsible-investment approach

Responsible investment factors in people, society and the environment along with financial performance. The three core components are: (1) exclusions of some companies and industries based on involvement in areas of harm or breaching global norms; (2) ESG integration into evaluation of companies invested in or considered; and (3) stewardship through engagement and proxy voting. Investments are not made based solely on ESG factors.

Derivatives policy

Derivatives are used to reduce investment risks such as currency risk, or as an efficient way to gain exposure to an asset or asset class (e.g. equity futures). Use is carefully managed within defined limits set out in the Derivatives Framework, and derivative counterparties must meet minimum credit ratings.
