Fees
Just like most super funds, we deduct some money from your account to cover the cost of looking after and investing your money.
Because we’re a profit-to-members fund, our fees are set to cover our costs only. We don’t pay dividends to shareholders which means we return more to you through lower fees and charges. Before making any decision about your pension, it’s important to consider that fees are only one part of the bigger picture. What’s best for you will depend on your personal situation.
| Type of fee or cost | Amount (% pa) | How and when paid |

We generally calculate and deduct this fee daily when unit prices are determined. Where administration costs are higher than member administration fees collected these costs are met from our administration reserve, not from your account balance or investment returns. We estimate this amount for the year ending 30 June 2024 to be 0.031% p.a. |

1 If your account balance for a product offered by the superannuation entity is less than $6,000 at the end of the entity’s income year, the total combined amount of administration fees, investment fees and indirect costs charged to you is capped at 3% of the account balance. Any amount charged in excess of that cap must be refunded.
2 Investment fees and costs include an amount of 0.00%-0.06% for performance fees. The calculation basis for this amount is set out in the Pension PDS.
3 We may apply other fees and costs which relate to family law splits and advice fees for personal advice. See the ‘Additional explanation of fees and costs’ in the Pension PDS for further details.
