Updates to estimated indirect investment-related costs for GSA investment option

Fees and costs section

On page 4 and 5 of the Guaranteed Super Account (GSA) PDS and page 19 of the GSA Fact Sheet, the indirect costs (investment fees and costs, and transaction costs) have been updated to reflect our latest estimates. Please read the following information in relation to the Fees and costs section and refer to the table for the updated costs (%).

Every year we update the estimated indirect costs for each of our investment options, based on the underlying costs incurred over the last financial year. These underlying costs are deducted from the underlying assets of the investment portfolios and are reflected in the investment option's crediting rate. There is no direct cost charged to the member.

We have updated the indirect investment-related costs for GSA based on the actual costs incurred in the last financial year (ending 30 June 2023).  Please refer to the table below for the updates to these costs:
