*The TER has been calculated using data from 1 July 2010 until 30 June 2011. The TER is disclosed as a % of the average Net Asset Value of the portfolio that was incurred as charges, levies and fees related to the management of the portfolio and underlying portfolios. The TER is adjusted for significant subsequent portfolio restructuring and fee changes. A higher TER does not necessarily imply a poor return, nor does a low TER imply a good return. The current TER cannot be regarded as an indication of future TERs.
