Performance Summary
We focus on what matters to you
All our Funds have three key performance goals:
- Better than average returns over three years and longer.
- Income of at least 5% per annum, paid monthly or quarterly
- Smoother returns to help limit the impact of market downturns.
The recommended minimum investment period for the Affluence Income Trust is one year. The recommended minimum investment period for all other funds is three, and preferably five years. Below, we compare the performance of our Funds over those time periods, to various alternatives with a similar or higher risk profile.

More Information About Performance
We measure returns inclusive of distributions and changes in Fund unit prices. All performance data is calculated net of fees and costs (excluding the buy-sell spread) and assumes distributions are reinvested. Returns for periods over 1 year are annualised. Franking and other tax credits are not included in return calculations.
Performance data for each Fund page is updated monthly, and performance data on this page is usually updated quarterly.
Each Affluence Fund has a distribution target of at least 5% per annum, paid monthly or quarterly. Since inception, all Funds have met or exceeded their distribution targets.
Our Funds target reduced volatility compared to similar products, particularly during market corrections. Volatility measures the variability in monthly returns. A lower number is better when measuring volatility. Higher volatility means that returns have been delivered with more ups and downs along the way. We measure volatility using the standard deviation formula. Standard deviation is one measure of risk, but it is not the only one, and it is historical in nature.
Risk Disclosure
As with all investments, Affluence Funds are subject to risks. If these risks eventuate, they may result in a reduction in the value of your investment in a Fund and/or a reduction or cessation of distributions. Distributions may be paid above or below target levels or not at all. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The value of your investment will go up and down over time, Fund returns will vary over time, and future returns may differ from past returns. All of this means that there is always the chance that you could lose money on your investment.
Affluence aims, where possible, to actively manage risks. However, some risks are outside our control.
