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.

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 the Investment Manager, Management Company, Underlying Fund manager, and depositary are all JPMorgan Group entities, meaning no party involved in running the fund is independent.
- FundRock NZ discloses that its parent, Apex Group Limited, also owns the fund's administration manager Apex NZ, which may result in commercial terms favouring Apex NZ at investors' expense.
- FundRock NZ confirms the JPMorgan Group depositary also provides administrative services and delegates safekeeping duties, creating layered conflicts of interest within the same corporate group.
- No performance-fee mechanic is disclosed in the provided OMI extracts; investors should verify the PDS fee schedule for any additional cost structures.

In OMI
Conflicts of interest disclosed in OMI
- The Investment Manager, Management Company, Underlying Fund, investment manager of the Underlying Fund and depositary of the Underlying Fund are all part of the JPMorgan Group and are not independent third parties, creating potential conflicts in providing services and products that may disadvantage or restrict the Fund and/or Underlying Fund.
- The depositary of the Underlying Fund (part of JPMorgan Group) provides administrative services to the Underlying Fund as the Management Company's agent, giving rise to potential conflicts of interest.
- Potential conflicts of interest may arise between the depositary and any delegates or sub-delegates it has appointed to perform safekeeping and related services.
- FundRock NZ Limited and the Scheme's administration 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.
- Parties related to the Fund, including staff of the Investment Manager and their families, and staff of FundRock and their families, may from time to time invest in the Fund.
