Past investment returns are not a reliable indication of future returns. Crediting rates are the return minus investment costs and taxes and allowing for reserves.

Past investment returns are not a reliable indication of future returns. Investment returns are based on the interim crediting rate which is the return minus estimated investment costs and taxes. Numbers may not add up precisely to the totals provided due to the rounding of those numbers to two decimal points.

We’re here to help. So let’s talk.

If you would like to know more about the investment returns or have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to call our Member Services Team on 1300 360 988, or email us.

Your super account earns investment income at the Fund’s declared crediting rate. The crediting rate used will depend on the investment option(s) you have selected. More information about crediting rates can be found in the First Super PDS and the First Super Pension PDS. The actual returns are based on the performance of the underlying investments and First Super does not guarantee or promise any specific rate of return.
