Note - Amendment to the Wholesale Access Fund Trust Deed
Clause 15.3.1 of the Trust Deed for the "minimum liquid investment" wording was amended. This amended wording clarifies existing wording and allows for a minimum amount to be set by the Operator rather than enshrining a prescribed minimum amount in the Trust Deed. This amendment is not considered materially adverse to investors. You may obtain a copy of the Trust Deed upon request at no cost.
