Foreign Currency

Currency Conversion Foreign exchange charges will be incured on all foreign securities transactions that require funds to be converted to or from NZ dollars.

For the purposes of conversion into or from one currency to another, the exchange rate used is a midpoint rate plus a currency conversion margin of an amount up to 0.89% of the overseas currency amount.

The midpoint rate is derived from wholesale buy and sell rates quoted by foreign exchange market participants and which are compiled by a supplier of financial market data.

The exchange rate or rates for a particular transaction will be those applicable at the time at which and on the date at which the contract note for the trade is generated. The exchange rate displayed here is an indication of the midpoint only and is refreshed from time to time throughout the day.
