Before you invest
Before taking any action, AustralianSuper recommends you consider your personal financial position, objectives and requirements and download and read the latest version of the Member Investment Choice Guide. You should also seek advice from an independent financial adviser licensed to provide personal financial product advice.
Your AustralianSuper Member Statement will show the capital movement in your investment in the ASX 200 Shares Investment Option, as well as any six-monthly dividends.
You can switch out of the ASX 200 Shares Investment Option and into another of the Fund's Investment Options at any time – except if you have received a franked dividend, where you need to hold your stock for 47 days.
If your employer is a stockbroker, you will need your employer to sign a Referral Agreement before you can participate in the ASX 200 Shares Investment Option. You can download a Referral Agreement, or call AustralianSuper weekdays 8am-8pm (EST) and we will send one to you.
Suspended trading
If suspension of trading occurs on any of the stock, the buy/sell order will be processed only if trading resumes by close of trading the following day. If trading does not resume within two business days, the order will be cancelled unless you elected to carry over your buy/sell order until the next AustralianSuper trading day at the time you submitted your application.
If the buy/sell order for a particular stock which is suspended from trading is partially completed, the completed trades will be allocated on a pro-rata basis across all applications.
