UPDATE TO BUY/SELL SPREADS
Equity Trustees Limited, as the Responsible Entity of the Premium Asia Income Fund is actively monitoring current market liquidity and transaction costs.
Recent market events and the sustained volatility in fixed income markets have led to large movements in transaction costs. As a result, the Responsible Entity will adjust the buy/sell spreads for the Premium Asia Income Fund.
Why are we making these changes?
A buy spread may be charged to you when entering the fund (buying units) and a sell spread may be charged to you when exiting the fund (selling units). The buy/sell spread is not a fee paid to the Responsible Entity but rather, it is paid to the fund to cover transactional costs incurred when applications and redemptions are made.
The purpose of the buy/sell spread is to ensure that only those investors transacting in the fund’s units at a particular time bear the Fund’s cost of buying and selling the fund’s assets as a consequence of their transaction. There is no additional buy/sell spread charged to you by the Underlying Fund.
We regularly review the buy/sell spreads of the funds to ensure they represent, as closely as possible, the actual costs incurred in transacting.
What are the changes?
Effective 1 July 2020, buy/sell spreads will be updated as per below:
Fund name: Premium Asia Income Fund
ARSN: 151 270 423
Previous Buy/Sell spread: 0.50%/2.50%
Buy/Sell spread effective 1 July: 0.50%/0.50%
When will the change come into effect?
These changes will be effective as of 1 July 2020.
The Responsible Entity will continue to monitor market liquidity and transaction costs on a daily basis and adjust the buy/sell spreads accordingly.
