Disclaimer

Funds are valued daily at 15:00. Instructions must reach us before 14:00 (12:00 for Nedgroup Money Market Fund) to ensure same day value. Prices are published daily on our website and in selected major newspapers.

The Total Investment Charges expressed as a percentage of the fund, relates to all investment costs of the fund and are made up of Total Expense Ratio (TER) and Transaction Costs (TC). Please refer to the relevant fund fact sheet and your investment statement for full details and a breakdown of TER and TC. Total Investment Charges were introduced by ASISA in January 2016 and any date prior to this will display TER charges only.

Nedgroup Investments Money Market Fund aims to maintain a constant price of 100 cents per unit. A money market fund is not a bank deposit. The total return to the investor is made up of interest received and any gain or loss made on any particular instrument held. In most cases the return will merely have the effect of increasing or decreasing the daily yield, but in an extreme case it can have the effect of a capital loss. Excessive withdrawals from the fund may place the fund under liquidity pressures and that in such circumstances a process of ring-fencing of withdrawal instructions and managed pay-outs over time may be followed. The yield is calculated using an annualised seven day rolling average as at the relevant dates provided for in the fund fact sheet.

A schedule of fees and charges and maximum commissions is available on request from Nedgroup Investments.

Unit counts refers to the total number of units currently in the fund.
