Why can I see transfers in and transfers out of the same amount?
Any member may have multiple employer occurrences (each time they change employer, a new ‘occurrence’ is created in our system.) Sunsuper’s business rules define the default or ‘best occurrence’ as the first employer the member was set up with. The ‘best occurrence’ has no material effect on the contribution. It’s simply a consolidation of all contributions into one occurrence – the ‘best occurrence’.
The transparency that Adviser Online now brings means you can see activity on your member’s account, including employer contributions. These show the contribution less the tax, plus or minus investment earnings transferred from one employer occurrence to the ‘best’ occurrence for the member. It’s an automated consolidation activity, affecting only those members with more than one contribution source.

What are the 'Other management costs' I can see on my client's transaction history?
Other Management Costs - Type 3: This is the Indirect Cost Ratio
Indirect cost ratio - These are costs incurred by the underlying investment manager as part of managing investments.
Indirect costs are expenses incurred in managing your investments in addition to investment fees and include explicit transactional and operational cos.
For example, if your funds are invested in real property, a transactional cost could be stamp duty for the purchase of that property.
These costs are not paid by Sunsuper, but rather are incurred indirectly by our investment managers and as such are included in your net investment returns.
The indirect cost ratios are the sum of indirect costs expressed as a percentage of the funds in each investment option.
Other Management costs - Type 4: These are the transactional and operational costs.
Transactional and operational costs are incurred by underlying investment managers and are divided into two categories, Explicit costs and Implicit costs.
Explicit costs: These include brokerage, settlement costs (including custody costs) and stamp duty. Explicit costs are already included in the Indirect Cost Ratio, but are also separately disclosed.
Implicit costs: These are costs of acquisition and disposal of assets as part of investments. They are effectively the difference between the price for the purchase and sale of an investment asset. They are not included in the investment fee or Indirect Cost Ratio.
