Disclaimer

*An indicative NAV per Unit (iNAV) will be published on the Fund’s website throughout the ASX Trading Day. The iNAV will be based on the latest closing price of each security, and will take into account proxies (including futures) where a live price is unavailable (for example, if the relevant market is closed). The iNAV reflects the real time movements in stock markets and currencies during the ASX Trading Day and, for securities not trading during the ASX Trading Day, listed proxy instruments selected on the basis of correlations with the underlying investments. The proxies and their correlations with underlying instruments are reviewed regularly and updated as required.
The Responsible Entity has appointed Solactive AG as an iNAV calculation agent to independently calculate and disseminate an iNAV. The iNAV represents the best estimate by the Responsible Entity or its appointed agents of the value per unit in the Fund throughout the trading day. No assurance can be given that the iNAV will be published continuously or that it will be up to date or free from error. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Responsible Entity nor its appointed agent shall be liable to any person who relies on the iNAV.

GPO Box 5193
Sydney NSW 2001

If you are a wholesale investor as defined in section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001 and wish to invest via the RE in the Plato Global Alpha Complex ETF, please contact Client Services on 1300 737 240 Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 5.30pm (Sydney time) or via email at service@pinnacleinvestment.com.

Online Applications are available for individuals, partnerships, SMSF’s, superannuation funds, other regulated trusts, and companies. Note, applications for unregulated trusts (such as family and testamentary trusts) CANNOT be completed online.

The avenue by which you invested in the Fund, either via buying units from the RE or via the ASX, does not restrict how you can withdraw your investment.

To withdraw via the ASX – Log into your share trading platform and issue a sell order, just as you would for any listed ETF or share. This is a straight forward process if you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) associated with your holding. If have a Security holder Reference Number (SRN), ask your stockbroker if they can sell your units on your behalf. If they are unable to do that, you will need to ask your stockbroker or trading platform if they can convert your holding into a HIN after which you will be able to sell your holding via the ASX.

To withdraw via the RE – Complete a redemption request form available at https://plato.com.au/investonline/ and submit it to the RE. You will need to provide your SRN or Investor Number on the withdrawal form. If you have a HIN instead, you will need to convert your holding from a HIN to a SRN with the assistance of your stockbroker or online trading platform.

Please note that there are differences when you redeem via the RE or by selling on the securities exchange including the price you may pay. You should read the PDS or speak with your adviser before you decide which avenue you use.

Does PGA1 pay distributions? If so, can I reinvest them?

Plato Global Alpha Complex ETF pays a distribution semi-annually. Distribution payments are not guaranteed as they are subject to the earnings of the Fund. Any distributions paid will be automatically re-invested unless you advise otherwise.

What is the difference between an on-market and off-market unit?

You are investing in the same fund but you have a choice whether you hold off-market units via the Responsible Entity (RE) or buy the on-market units on the ASX in the same way you buy other publicly listed ETFs and shares.

Investors who apply for units directly with the Responsible Entity may pay a different price per unit to an investor who purchases those units on the ASX at the same time, and such differences may have a material impact on the performance of that investment. The above performance reflects the performance of the Fund where units are purchased and redeemed directly with the Responsible Entity only.
