Investment Returns - Financial Year to Date (FYTD)

The FYTD investment returns are the estimated returns for each investment option for the current financial year.  The performance of the investment options is measured by the investment returns.

Interim Earning Rates

The Trustee Board reviews the interim earning rates in consultation with the Fund's Investment Advisor and applies the rates to members in a position to take their benefit from the Fund, e.g. retirement, resignation transfers, or switching your investment option.  The interim earning rate is net of estimated taxes and investment fees.

The Trustee reserves the right to change the interim earning rates with the movement of the investment returns.

The interim earning rates shown in the table are not the annual declared earning rates that are applied to members' accounts at 30 June each year.
