NAVs used for the annual report are all dated 31/12/2020 (except for liquidated Sub-Funds or Share Classes) and have been specially calculated for the purpose of the annual report; for the avoidance of doubt, the NAVs as published in the annual report are not NAVs on which any Shareholder could have traded. Computing performance figures with the NAV included in the annual report will lead to different results than the table.
