Investment description

Investment objective
The objective of the Capital Guaranteed Investment Option is to guarantee^ a member's capital. The aim of this investment option is to outperform retail cash management accounts by at least 0.5% per annum, after tax and fees.
^The Capital Guaranteed Investment Option invests through a life office capital guaranteed statutory fund under a policy issued by AXA Australia. The terms of this policy have the effect that the original capital amount invested cannot reduce due to poor investment returns.

* Please note that the returns quoted are net of fees and tax. The 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and since inception figures, where they appear, are rolling returns as at 30 June 2008. These historical returns are the combined return information from previous ARF and STA investment options.
Where only one of the merging funds previously offered an equivalent to an option in the new product suite, the returns of that option have been used. Where both funds offered an equivalent option, the returns have been asset weighted across both options on a monthly basis, as per industry best practice. Where data isn’t available for one or both of the equivalent options, the monthly returns have been averaged. The same process has been used for calculating historical investment fees. Investment returns are not guaranteed as all investments carry some risk. Past performance gives no indication of future returns.
The strategic asset allocation and other information shown in this section is current as at 31 December 2007. The Trustee may alter the strategic asset allocation or the composition of individual asset classes from time to time to suit prevailing market circumstances.
