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.

Hyperion may divest investments no longer suitable due to ESG considerations.

Reading between the lines
Plain-English summary of the scheme's disclosed conflicts and performance-fee mechanics, drawn from the OMI and PDS. Factual restatement — no opinion.
- FundRock NZ acknowledges that because it and registry manager Apex NZ share the same ultimate parent (Apex Group), FundRock may agree registry contract terms more favourable to Apex NZ than to investors.
- FundRock delegates registry services to related party Apex Investment Administration (NZ) Limited under an Administration Agreement, meaning fund costs flow to a company under common ownership with the manager.
- The Hyperion Global Growth Companies PIE Fund charges a performance fee of 20% of outperformance above benchmark, calculated on NAV each six months, but only after prior underperformance is recovered and the fund return is at or above 0.00%.

- FundRock NZ Limited and the Scheme's registry manager Apex Investment Administration (NZ) Limited are ultimately owned by Apex Group Limited, which may influence FundRock to agree commercial terms with Apex NZ that are more favourable to Apex NZ than would otherwise be the case, benefiting Apex NZ at the expense of investors.
