Smart S&P/NZX NZ Government Bond ETF Distribution - February 2026

Smart S&P/NZX NZ Government Bond ETF (NGB) is designed to tracks the return of the S&P/NZX NZ Government Bond index.

NGB pays quarterly distributions, where available, based on income received during that distribution calculation period from the underlying security.

For the period 13 November 2025 to 12 February 2026, the Fund has not received sufficient income to pay a distribution and cover forecast taxes and expenses. As a result, NGB will not pay a distribution for the period ending 28 February 2026.
