Investment Portfolio Holdings

The underlying holdings are updated twice a year within 90 days of 30 June and 31 December.

For the underlying investments within MLC investment options or within investment options offered by our related entities, the valuations are sourced from or calculated by our custodian, NAB Asset Servicing, using data from other external firms.

All asset and derivative values are determined in line with industry standards.

For those investments that are exposed to foreign currency, we convert them to Australian dollars (AUD) using the foreign exchange rates as at the date the underlying holdings data was last updated.

All investments are grouped into different asset classes. Some of the more common asset classes you may have come across are shares (also known as equities), fixed income (such as bonds), property and cash.

If you’d like more information on the different asset classes available please refer to your Investment Menu, which is available when you login to your online account.

Weightings may be rounded off to several decimal places. If the weightings are sufficiently small (for example, XYZ shares have a weighting of 0.004%), then that number may be rounded to 0.00%.

It doesn’t mean that the underlying holding has no weighting in the investment option.

Some options are excluded and do not have breakdowns. However, these investment options are not available in Plum.

No, based on the structure of the investment option, you can’t request a purchase or sell instruction of specific underlying holdings.

Yes, once you’ve made your selection, you can download all the data from the tab labelled “Download data”. The data will be available on a single spread sheet.

New legislation introduced the Portfolio Holdings Disclosure regime, which requires additional information on underlying investment holdings to be made available. This makes it simple for you to see the underlying holdings of available investment options, including their weightings.

This information is publicly available to anyone to access.
