On 30 August 2023, we terminated the AXA IM Wholesale Sustainable Equity investment option and suspended transactions. The fund will be removed from the FirstChoice investment menu.
The termination will occur on 28 September 2023.
Why have we terminated this option?
The number of investors in the AXA IM Wholesale Sustainable Equity investment option has not met a level of scale for the ongoing implementation of the investment strategy, and as such, we have determined that it is in the best interests of the investors to terminate this option.
What affect will this have?
At 3pm on 30 August 2023, we suspended transactions on the AXA IM Wholesale Sustainable Equity investment option. This means we haven’t processed applications, switches or redemption requests after 3pm on 30 August 2023 for investment option below:
AXA IM Wholesale Sustainable Equity
FSF8013AU
What’s next?
For those invested in the option, we will return their share of their investments in the option from the termination proceeds to their nominated bank account from 28 September 2023.
If those invested in the option would like to reinvest this money into a different option within their FirstChoice account, they will need to contact us before 26 September 2023 by:
- uploading the completed investment switch form online via e-Post in FirstNet;
- completing the investment switch form and returning it to us by mail; or
- calling us on 13 13 36.
