All investment performance and unit pricing is net of tax and fees, except the weekly $0.99 Administration fee. Returns have not been adjusted for the affect of any fee capping arrangement and are rounded to one decimal place. Investment returns are not guaranteed, and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.

Each Investment option (with the exception of the Direct Investment Option) pools member contributions, which are then used to purchase assets such as shares, property, bonds and cash for that option. The assets of each option pool are notionally divided into units – or a share of those assets. The value or price of each unit is determined by the value of the pool of assets. As the value of the assets increase, the unit price rises. If the value of the pool of assets decreases, the unit price falls. If you contribute additional money to an option, you buy more units. If money is withdrawn to pay fees or to pay you a benefit, units are sold. To calculate the value of your investment, you multiply the number of units you have been allocated in the option by the current unit sell price.
