Our fees and costs

Our fees

Every dollar you save goes a long way to helping you achieve a future full of positivity. That’s why we aim to keep our fees and costs as low as possible. That’s a plus.  

For full details of our fees and costs including definitions and explanations, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement

Super fees and
your net benefit

Your return is the amount of money your investment earns. Take away admin fees, investment fees and taxes and other indirect expenses from your returns and what’s left is your net benefit. That’s why it’s important to understand the impact of fees and costs on your investment, and why we encourage you to read this information and the PDS closely.  

Fees and costs may change from time to time, which may affect the value of your investment.  

A low administration fee

+ strong long-term returns

= more super for you

Our
administration fee

If you love saving, you’ll love our low admin fee.

We have one of the lowest administration fees of any MySuper product.1 Why? Lower fees mean more of your money is invested in your future.   

Our super admin fee

All you pay is a member admin fee of $1.50 per week* ($78.00 p.a.) plus 0.0165% of your account balance per year.

In the previous financial year, Hostplus deducted an additional $32.91 per member from the Fund’s Administration Reserve – and not from members' account balances. 

Our pension admin fee

All you pay is a pension member admin fee of $4.50 per week** plus 0.0165% of your account balance per year.

In the previous financial year, Hostplus deducted an additional $56.02 per member from the Fund’s Administration Reserve – and not from members' account balances.
