When you invest in an Australian Ethical Super investment option, your money buys a number of units. The unit price is the dollar value of each unit in the investment option on the specified date. Unit prices are calculated by dividing the net value of the investment option’s assets by the number of units issued. Unit prices go up and down each day based on movements in the market value and as the unit prices change, so does the value of your investment. This means your super balance will be different each day.

Members can switch between our investment options at any time. You can do this by logging in to your member portal and navigating to Investments in the menu.
- Login then go to ‘Investments’
- Find ‘Change investments’
Generally, investment switches processed on a Business Day will be processed using the next Business Day’s unit price.
- Check our investment fees before you make any changes as the investment options have different fee amounts
- Consider if you're comfortable with the amount of risk associated with your investment options.
It takes up to two business days to calculate the unit price. During these two days, we calculate the value of all the assets we invest in and the number of units on issue, which is affected by contributions and withdrawals.
We need these valuations to accurately calculate the unit price for any of our investment options.
To find out more about how unit prices are calculated and used, please see our legal disclaimer.
The performance data is updated on a monthly basis.
Annualised investment returns in % are calculated:
- Using the exit price
- Net of administration and investment management fees, taxes and other costs (which means these have been deducted)
- The standard calculations are based on a member with an account balance of $50,000, which will not be relevant to all members
- The standard calculations do not allow, for example, for the effect of contributions to your account, insurance fees or various other matters
- Performance figures relating to unit prices between 1 July 2011 and 31 December 2016 have been restated following the remediation of a unit pricing error
- 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.
Investment returns in $ are calculated:
- On a monthly basis
- Using the exit price
- Net of %-based administration and investment management fees and taxes (which means these have been deducted)
- Gross of $-based member fee (which means these have not been deducted)
- The standard calculations do not allow, for example, for the effect of contributions to your account, insurance fees or various other matters
Return of capital and the performance of your investment in the fund are not guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
When we use the term “healthy” we are referring to the fact that our ethical approach applies to every investment we make and where the product or option has delivered after fee returns in the top 2 quartiles amongst its peer group over the relevant investment period.
When we use the term “strong” we are referring to the fact that our ethical approach applies to every investment we make and where the product or option has delivered after fee returns in the top quartile amongst its investment peer group over the relevant investment period.
