The above table contains general information only and does not constitute the provision of financial product advice. If you are considering an investment in Single Bond ETF units, it is important that you read the Product Disclosure Statement relevant to the Single Bond ETF Class of Units, and consult with a suitably qualified financial and/or tax adviser, prior to making any investment decisions. Past performance is not a reliable indication of future performance. The above yield is displayed as “Yield to Call” as it may be calculated on either A) a yield to maturity date basis; or B) a yield to early redemption date or call date basis. Some bond issuances include multiple early redemption dates and prices, therefore the realised yield on the Underlying Bond may differ from the yield estimated or quoted. The above table indicates Yield to Call (YTC) and Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the underlying bond. The Yield to Call of the Single Bond ETF is impacted by the fees and costs applicable to your investment in Single Bond ETF units. Refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for more information about fees and costs.

Benefits

Access

The underlying bond is not listed on an exchange, whereas the Single Bond ETF makes it accessible to a broader range of investors. Retail investors now have the ability to access bond markets without purchasing individual bonds directly from issuers, which is usually only available to wholesale investors.

Liquidity

Single Bond ETFs are generally more liquid than traditional bonds because they can be bought and sold on exchanges. Liquidity will vary depending on the specifical Single Bond ETF and market conditions.

Transparency

You’ll be able to determine the income you receive, and the performance of the underlying bond should reflect the performance of the Single Bond ETF, less fees and costs.

Diversification

Single Bond ETFs can diversify a portfolio that includes shares, property and traditional bonds, potentially lowering overall risk and providing regular income.

Choice

A variety of Single Bond ETFs will be made available for you to choose from. When multiple Single Bond ETFs are available, you’ll be able to create your own portfolio based on the underlying bond exposures you want.

Risks

A Single Bond ETF will be subject to the same risks as the underlying corporate bond.

These risks include:

1

Credit and information risk

2

Liquidity and suspension risk

3

Concentration risk

4

Market risk
