PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The portfolio performance shown in this tool is hypothetical and for illustrative purposes only. Performance figures represent past performance. Past performance is not indicative of future performance and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Past performance should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product. The value of the investments may go up or down and the investor may not get back the amount invested.

The performance, including the performance of the example portfolios included in this tool, does not represent the performance of an actual account or investment product and is not the result of any actual trading.

Portfolio performance is calculated on an aggregate base, with consideration to the selected investments and according to the percentage allocated to each investment. The calculation of the growth of the initial investment is indicative and does not take into account any possible impact of inflation. Performance does not include costs of ownership or trading costs, such as brokerage and commissions, that may be incurred in the trading of securities within the portfolio and actual investment outcomes may vary. Frequent trading of iShares ETFs may incur charges that erode cost efficiency and performance. Volatility is calculated based on annualised standard deviation of daily returns. Performance figures of iShares ETFs are calculated on a net asset value (NAV) price basis, include management fees of the iShares ETFs included within a portfolio and assume the reinvestment of distributions of any such iShares ETF. Where an iShares ETF's performance data is unavailable, the iShares ETF's benchmark index returns may be used to represent performance of the iShares ETF. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Performance of any cash allocation is calculated with consideration to the RBA Cash Rate.
