The level of premium or discount is determined by differences in the foreign and base currency interest rates and is not part of the fund s objective or investment policy. For example, when AUD interest rates are higher than USD interest rates, distributions will include a premium paid out of capital. The distributions paid out by this share class may be significantly reduced if AUD interest rates fall compared to USD interest rates.
