AustralianSuper investment returns are based on crediting rates. For Choice Income products, crediting rates are the investment returns less investment fees and costs, transaction costs and taxes. Returns don't include all administration and other fees and costs that are deducted from account balances. Prior to 1 July 2018, the CPI benchmarks were calculated as an annual rate (annualised for periods of more than 1 year) plus the amount above CPI specified in the investment objective for the option. From 1 July 2018, the CPI benchmarks are calculated so that the compounded daily returns equal the annual CPI plus the amount above CPI specified in the investment objective for the option on 30 June each year.
