Release 23 August 2021 – Distributions

Distributions

In this release we have added ‘Total Return reinvestment’ as a distribution option. This addition makes provision for instances where a distribution is re-invested by the Fund Manager by increasing the price and no units are allocated.

A zero cash amount distribution is allocated and the weighted average base cost (WAUC) increase by taking into account the net distribution amount. i.e total cents per unit * clients balances on declaration date. See link.
