The Fund's risk level is based on the estimated number of negative annual returns for the Fund over any 20 year period and is not a complete assessment of the risks of investing in the Fund. For instance it does not detail what the size of a negative return could be or the potential for a positive return to be less than an investor may require to meet their objectives. Consequently, before choosing to invest or reinvest in the Fund, you should read the Fund's PDS and incorporated information and consider factors such as the likely investment return, the risks of investing and your investment time frame. Information about the methodology used for calculating the risk level is available here.

This information has been prepared for the purpose of providing general information, without taking account of any particular investor's objectives, financial situation or needs. You should, before making any investment decisions, consider the appropriateness of this information and seek professional advice, having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Returns are calculated using the unit price which uses the net asset values for the relevant month end. This price may differfrom the actual unit price for an investor applying for or redeeming an investment. Actual unit prices will be confirmed following any transaction by an investor. Returns quoted are before tax, after fees and costs, assume all distributions are reinvested and are annualised for periods greater than one year. To invest in our Funds you'll need to get a copy of the current Product Disclosure Statement ("PDS") from AMP Capital. The PDS contains important information about investing in the Funds and it's important you read them before deciding whether to acquire, continue to hold or dispose of units in the Funds.
Cash Management Trust
Returns for Retail Cash Management Trust are available quarterly only
AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund
Returns are calculated using the unit price which uses the net asset values for the relevant month end. This price may differ from the actual unit price for an individual investor. Returns quoted are before tax, after Class fees and costs, and assume all distributions are reinvested. Also, the returns shown do not include franking credits received from some of the hybrid stocks that have been held historically. Further to our update dated 7 Oct 2009, performance attribution for income and growth components will not be reported while the Fund is currently returning capital via distributions as this distribution policy results in a distortion of this income and growth component. The AMP Capital Enhanced Yield Fund changed its asset allocation on 1 June 2004, moving from listed property trusts in favour of increased exposure to structured high yield debt and hybrid corporate bonds, which represented a significant change in the investment approach for the Fund. For this reason performance since inception figures for the Wholesale and On-platform Class A products shown are from this significant event date (1 June 2004). The asset allocation changed on 19 October 2009 when the target asset allocation of 50% traded high yield and 50% private debt was removed. As from 31 December 2011, the Fund invests in private debt investments and has a small holding in cash and liquid securities.
