• Superannuation investment performance

  • It's easy to find out how your Australian Catholic Superannuation investments have been performing. Simply view the current financial year and historical investment returns below, to see what was achieved by our many Superannuation Plan investment options.

    Although past performance can provide useful information, it is not a reliable predictor of future performance, particularly over shorter time frames. Therefore, you should not make investment decisions based on past performance.

  • Disclaimer:

    • These returns are net of tax and investment fees and were the effective return on opening account balances invested in the portfolio option for the full period. Returns are calculated on a time weighted basis by using hard close unit prices (unit prices that incorporate updated valuations of Fund investments).
    • Financial year-to-date returns represent the actual return achieved based on the number of days into the financial year. It is not an annualised figure i.e. it does not represent 12 months of return.
    • The Fund’s Superannuation Plan has different tax treatment to the Allocated Pension Plan, so each Plan will experience different investment returns for the same portfolio options.
    • Please note that these returns are only applicable for members who have not made any transactions (withdrawals, deposits or change of investment options) in the reporting period specified.
    • Your investment return will be specific to the investment option you have chosen and influenced by the timing of your account balance movements in the investment option.
    • You should be aware that the value of your investment may rise or fall. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.


    Should there be any discrepancy between the website unit price figures and what is on Australian Catholic Superannuation’s administration system, then the Fund’s administration system figures will prevail.
