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.

Conflicts disclosed

In OMI
Conflicts of interest disclosed in OMI
- The funds may invest in wholesale funds that are also managed by Fisher Funds, creating a potential conflict of interest as the manager benefits from assets under management across multiple funds; however, the funds generally do not incur a management fee on such investments, or if a fee is incurred, Fisher Funds fully rebates it.
- Fisher Funds may pay service fees to financial advisers, referring banks, distributors, and other intermediaries for the origination and/or ongoing servicing of investors, which may create an incentive for those intermediaries to recommend Fisher Funds products.
