L If the fund was formerly a PPF did it choose not to apply the transitional distribution rules during the financial year?
If your fund was not formerly a PPF, you are not required to answer this question.
A former private AF may choose to not apply the transitional distribution rules (that is, based on donations and income) and instead apply the distribution rules under private AF guideline 19 (that is, based on market value). That choice must be made within the financial year in which it changes its distribution method.
