The distribution will be paid on Monday, 4 November 2019 to all securities holders recorded on the register on Friday, 1 November 2019.

In accordance with the investment policy of the portfolio, the distribution (net of dividend withholding tax as detailed abov e) will be re-invested on behalf of
investors through the purchase of securities comprising the Index in accordance with the calculation methodology of the total return version of this Index,
thereby increasing the net asset value of the portfolio and, proportionately, each ETF security.

The distribution (Net of dividend withholding tax) should:

- be added to the base cost of each ETF security for capital gains tax purposes; or
- where the ETF securities are held as trading stock be regarded as part of the cost of acquiring an ETF security.

Reinvestments into the portfolio still constitute a notional distribution even though it will not be paid in cash. Consequent ly, it forms part of investors' gross
income as it is subject to tax.
Investors qualifying for exemption from DWT or a reduced rate of DWT per Double Tax Agreement ("DTA"), will receive, in cash, a distribution amount of the
applicable DWT, provided they have completed and timeously lodged with the relevant intermediary the prescribed declaration and undertaking form.
Failure to do so will result in the dividends tax being withheld in full.

***Compagnie Financiere Richemont is a Switzerland listed Company. The dividends received have been subject to 20% withholding tax.

*Investors should seek advice from their tax advisor on whether the tax rate shown is applicable to them.

 South African tax resident investors relating to REITs
**The dividend distribution by a REIT received by South African tax residents must be included in their gross income and will not be exempt in
terms of the ordinary dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 (“the Act”) as a result of paragraph (aa) of the
proviso thereto which provides that dividends distributed by a REIT are not exempt from income tax.
No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident qualifying for exemption from dividend
withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, as
the case may be in respect of its participatory interest:
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or the
beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are advised to contact their CSDP or broker,
as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not
already been submitted.

Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be
subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax is levied at a rate of 15%, unless the rate is red uced in terms of any applicable
agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-resident investor has provided the following
forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the
beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case
may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such document s have not already
been submitted.

Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate
action to take.
