Funds generally pay all their distributable income for the year to investors. Distributable income is made up primarily of interest, dividends and net realised capital gains of the fund, less fund expenses. Funds are required to attribute this income to investors for tax purposes whether they pay an actual distribution or not. Most funds pay the same amount that they attribute.

Unrealised capital gains for the year are not included in distributable income, so distributions are not necessarily a good representation of performance. If a fund has significant unrealised capital gains for the year, performance may be far better than the distribution.

Please refer to our Distribution calendar for this information. We will keep this updated with current information throughout the year end process.

Tax may have been withheld from your distribution because you’re an overseas resident for tax purposes or because you have not supplied us with your Australian Tax File Number (TFN Withholding Tax). If you have had TFN Withholding Tax applied to your distribution you should provide us with your Tax File Number. You can often claim Withholding tax back when you lodge your tax return.

Tax Statements (now often referred to as AMMA statements) are issued to all investors who have received a distribution during the financial year. If you haven’t received a distribution during the year, you will not receive a tax or AMMA statement.

Like most investment managers, Pengana do not provide investors with Capital Gains Statements.
