Risk indicator for the Smart NZ Mid Cap ETF
==> picture [244 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
The risk indicator is rated from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The rating reflects how much the value of the fund’s assets goes up and down. A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way.
To help you clarify your own attitude to risk, you can seek financial advice or work out your risk profile at sorted.org.nz/tools/investor-profiler.
Note that even the lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment, and there are other risks that are not captured by this rating.
This risk indicator is not a guarantee of a fund’s future performance. The risk indicator is based on the returns data for 5 years to 31 December 2025. While risk indicators are usually relatively stable, they do shift from time to time. The risk indicator will continue to be updated in future fund updates.
See the Product Disclosure Statement for the Smart Exchange Traded Funds – Australasia Series for more information about the risks associated with investing in this fund.
