The fees and costs amounts reflect the fees and costs which we have incurred in managing the Listed Property option. For example, fees and costs we incur in the course of investing in listed property securities, i.e. real estate investment trusts (REITs), for that option. These figures do not include any amounts incurred by the REITs which the Listed Property option has invested in – such as costs relating to any real property and the other business activities of those REITs.

Objective and performance

Things you need to know

  1. Size of both accumulation and pension assets.
  2. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Option returns are calculated net of investment expenses and taxes but are gross of account-based fees. Due to rounding, excess return may not equate to the difference between option return and median return. The SuperRatings data is based on the SuperRatings survey for the relevant period and does not take into account any subsequent revisions or corrections made by SuperRatings.
  3. The strategic asset allocation may change and may be altered by the trustee from time to time to suit prevailing market circumstances. Actual allocation will deviate from their targets, but are monitored so they are kept within a range approved by the Trustee.
  4. These holdings may change from time to time. The above holdings are the outcome of various strategies applied by UniSuper and by a range of investment managers taking into account a variety of considerations, many of which are specific to UniSuper and superannuation funds in general. The above lists are published for informational purposes only and are not a recommendation or endorsement of any of the companies listed, for inclusion in your personal portfolio. Before selecting companies to invest in personally, you should seek professional financial advice that takes into account your personal circumstances and investment objectives. Value includes direct holdings only and does not include exposures from indirect holdings.
  5. Value includes direct holdings only and does not include exposures from indirect holdings.
