Transition to Retirement Income account unit price graphs

If you’ve reached preservation age and you have a Transition to Retirement (TTR) Income account, see below how our investments have performed. 

Our performance

Our diversified options are shown on the graph below. The graph shows the performance of an initial investment of $1,000 over a period of time (based on the movements in unit prices net of fees and taxes).

Remember, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. It’s a good idea to consider returns over the long term, as markets can fluctuate in the short-term.

Transition to Retirement Income account unit prices

When you invest in an investment option you buy “units” in that option. Each unit has a dollar value, called the “unit price”. Your account balance is calculated by multiplying the number of units you have in each investment option by the unit price of each option. As unit prices are calculated each business day, the value of your account may change daily.

 

Legislation update

Due to legislative change, from 1 July 2017 Transition to Retirement Income account investment returns will be taxed at up to 15%, the same tax rate applicable to Accumulation accounts. To accommodate this change, Transition to Retirement Income account investment options use the same unit prices as Accumulation account options from 1 July 2017. Historical unit prices and investment performance shown are based on Accumulation account unit prices, which means historical Transition to Retirement Income account returns shown on this page will also reflect the investment tax of up to 15%. For the unit prices applicable to Transition to Retirement Income accounts prior to 1 July 2017, refer to the Retirement Income accounts - Investment performance.

Unit pricing error compensation 

Australian Retirement Trust has put in place comprehensive controls in order to minimise the chance of unit pricing errors. Should the unlikely circumstance of an error occur and Australian Retirement Trust determines that compensation is payable to members that have been adversely affected, we aim to ensure existing Australian Retirement Trust members are in the same financial position as if the error did not occur. For exited members, only amounts $20 or greater will be compensated. Australian Retirement Trust’s policy is in line with industry standards and regulatory guidelines.

Unit prices for the Australian Shares and Australian Shares - Index options were temporarily affected from 25 May 2022 to 28 June 2022 due to a unit pricing error. We’ve since corrected this and communicated to members. Those who were negatively affected have received extra units or a refund from us.

Conditions
