Notes

Ex-ante transaction costs:

Source: EMT Template – the Authorised Corporate Director – BNY Mellon Fund Managers Limited. The EMT Template is available by visiting the BNY website. Ex-ante transaction costs include both explicit and implicit transaction costs and are based on the previous 36 months of ex-post costs at an average level of assets under management. For newly launched funds without the required track record the figures are based upon a suitable proxy fund.

Ex-post transaction costs:

Source: EMT Template – the Authorised Corporate Director – BNY Mellon Fund Managers Limited. The EMT Template is available by visiting the BNY website. Ex-post transaction costs include both explicit and implicit transaction costs and are based on the previous 12 months of ex-post costs at an average level of assets under management. For newly launched funds without the required track record the figures are based upon a suitable proxy fund.

Explicit costs:

These relate to direct transaction-based costs, such as broker commissions and taxes incurred as a result of trading in the underlying investments.

Implicit costs:

These relate to indirect transaction costs, such as security spreads or execution and arrival price differences (implementation shortfall) as a result of trading in the underlying investments.

OCF (ongoing charges figure):

Source: EMT Template – BNY Mellon Fund Managers Limited (“Management Company”). The EMT Template is available by visiting the BNY website. The OCF comprises the Annual Management Charge (“AMC”) and additional expenses incurred by the fund, which includes administrative and other costs. In addition, should the fund invest in other open- and closed-end funds, the additional expenses will also reflect the impact of these underlying funds’ costs on the fund in question’s NAV. The OCF does not include initial entry charges, exit charges or any dilution adjustments. The OCF excludes transactions costs.

AMC: This represents the Management Company’s fee and includes the cost of fees associated with the provision of investment management services to the fund. X Shares share classes exclude AMC.
Other costs and charges: This covers the pooled fund administration and operating costs, such as the fund administration and fund accounting fees, registrar fees, custody fees, depositary fees, audit fees, regulatory fees, stock-lending fees and any other distribution costs. In addition, if the fund invests in other open- and closed-end funds, the impact of the costs of these underlying funds’ will also be reflected in the fund’s OCF.
