The investment returns for the income stream are calculated after allowing for investment management expenses but before the deduction of administration fees from members’ account balances. Investment earnings in relation to income streams are tax free. Neither the investments of First State Super (of which Health Super is a division) nor payment of capital to members is guaranteed by the Trustee. Past performance is no indicator or guarantee of future performance. The value of investments can rise or fall.

Note: Due to timing differences, unit prices may reflect investment returns on the close of business two days previously.

Reporting of past investment performance following the merger of the First State Super and Health Super investment options

On 1 July 2012 all Health Super division investment options were closed and merged into a comparable First State Super investment option. Reporting of the past investment performance for the merged investment options are calculated using a weighted average return. Returns are calculated by multiplying the proportion of money in each fund by the investment return of the fund.
