These investment returns are based on the unit price movements of each fund and are after tax at a rate of 28% and fund charges. If you have a lower investing tax rate your returns may be different.

Your own returns within an investment portfolio will depend on timing of contributions, actual fees charged, fund charges and your investment tax rate. The after tax and fee returns shown are therefore indicative of investment results that a member on a 28% investment tax rate could expect but may differ from your total returns.

 

Notes:

  1. ' – ' indicates that investment option was not operating for the full period or did not have funds invested in it for the full period.
  2. FYTD means Financial Year to Date, which is from 1 April 2024.
