Question of the week

Q: Would you explain the difference between the pre and after tax NTA quoted by managed funds and REITS – for some the NTA is lower after tax, for others it is higher. Fees are calculated pre tax NTA I believe.

A: The after tax NTA is a theoretical number and assumes all of the assets of the fund or the REIT are sold and the tax obligations are crystallised. So obviously, in some case, there’s an out-coming tax that’s crystallised, and sometimes a tax benefit is crystallised.
