Investing in managed funds
Buying units in managed funds
• All funds settled into the Vanguard Cash
Account associated with your Personal
Investor Kids Account, including under your
Auto Invest plan, will automatically be
invested into your selected managed fund,
provided it meets the minimum $1 additional
investment amount.
• Currently, all settled amounts received
before 1:00pm (AET) on a business day will
be processed that day and amounts settled
after 1:00pm (AET) or on a non- business
day will be processed the next business
day. We may alter this cut off time in the
future and inform you of the change via
Vanguard Online.
• There is no ongoing minimum holding that
must be maintained for your investment.
• Instructions to buy units in managed funds
are subject to the terms and conditions of the
relevant fund. Please take the time to review
the fund PDS available on our website to
understand the investment option you select.
• We do not accept any responsibility for any
movement in prices that occur during any
delay in processing a purchase or withdrawal
request for units in a managed fund.
• At Vanguard’s discretion, we may reject or
cancel your instruction to purchase or sell units
in managed funds. We will notify you promptly
if this occurs and let you know the reason.
• There may also be reasons relating to
security or inancial crime, anti-bribery
and anti-corruption, terrorism inancing
and sanction risks that may cause a delay,
rejection, or cancellation of your instruction
to buy or sell units in managed funds.
Selling units in managed funds
• Currently, all trades received before
1:00pm (AET) on a business day will be
processed that day and trades made
after 1:00pm (AET) or on a non-business
day will be processed the next business
day. We may alter this cut off time in the
future and inform you of the change via
Vanguard Online.
• Sales of units in managed funds can be
for either:
— a nominated dollar amount (to the
nearest whole dollar);
— a nominated number of units for partial
withdrawals (this option is not currently
available via the mobile app); or
— the full amount of your managed
fund holding.
• Proceeds from the sale of units in managed
funds will be paid to the Vanguard
Cash Account associated with your
Personal Investor Kids Account, and then
automatically transferred to your linked
Australian bank account. The timeframe
for payment will depend on the fund that
issued the units you are selling and the
processing timeframe of your inancial
institution. Please refer to the relevant fund
PDS or disclosure document for withdrawal
timeframes. Sell trades may be delayed
where the fund is closed or otherwise
unavailable for investment.
• Instructions to sell managed funds are
subject to the terms and conditions of the
relevant fund. We will make the PDS for each
fund available to you as part of the purchase
process. Please take the time to review
and understand the investment options
you select.
• We do not accept any responsibility for any
movement in prices that occur during any
delay in processing a purchase or withdrawal
request for units in a managed fund.
• Where we consider that it is reasonably
necessary in order to manage a material risk
we may reject or cancel your instructions in
relation to your investments. We will notify
you as soon as practicable if this occurs and
let you know the reason.
• There may also be reasons relating to
security or inancial crime, anti-bribery
and anti-corruption, terrorism inancing
and sanction risks that may cause a delay,
rejection, or cancellation of your instruction
to buy or sell managed funds.
