Vanguard International Shares Select Exclusions Index Fund
Managed by Vanguard Foreign-tax (FIF) treatment — not a New Zealand PIE
This fund is structured as an Australian Unit Trust. NZ investors generally pay tax under the Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) rules and need to file an income-tax return each year disclosing FIF income. It does not qualify for the PIR-capped tax treatment that applies to NZ PIE funds. Consider tax implications carefully — and check IRD guidance or talk to an adviser.
