About returns performance

Return of capital and the performance of your investment in superannuation and/or managed funds are not guaranteed.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Figures showing a period of less than one year have not been adjusted to show an annual total return. Figures for periods of greater than one year are on a per annum compound basis.

Calculating returns for superannuation

Total returns are calculated:

using the sell (exit) price
net of administration and investment management fees
net of tax.

Calculating returns for managed funds

Total returns are calculated:

using the sell (exit) price
net of administration and investment management fees
gross of tax
as if distributions of income have been reinvested at the actual distribution reinvestment price.

Buy-sell spread

The buy-sell spread is an adjustment to the unit price to create a difference between the entry and exit price for each managed fund and each super strategy. It is designed to cover the transaction costs when you buy or sell units so that these costs are not passed onto other investors. The buy-sell spread is built into the unit price and therefore does not appear on investor statements. The buy-sell spread is not paid to the manager of the managed funds or super fund. The buy-sell spread for our products are reviewed from time to time and may change. If the buy-sell spread is changed, it will be updated on this website.

Transacting

Superannuation

The unit price is determined weekly on a forward pricing basis. This means that when processing contributions or withdrawals the price used will be calculated after the contribution or withdrawal request is received.

Managed funds

The close of business price will be used for investment applications or redemption (withdrawal) requests received before or at 3:00pm Canberra time on a business day. Applications or redemptions received after 3:00pm or on a non-business day are processed using the close of business price for the next business day.

Date of portfolios

The full portfolio listings are intentionally dated in order to protect Australian Ethical’s intellectual property.

Applications to invest

Applications to invest in superannuation or the managed funds can only be accepted if you live in Australia or New Zealand and must be made in Australian Dollars. If you are a New Zealand investor you must also obtain a copy of the New Zealand product guide (PDS).
