1. Ratings agency SuperRatings has awarded Hostplus the ’20-year Platinum Performance’ rating in 2022. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should never be the sole factor considered when selecting a superannuation fund.
2. If your account balance for a product offered by the superannuation entity is less than $6,000 at the end of the entity’s income year, certain fees and costs charged to you in relation to administration and investment are capped at 3% of the account balance. Any amount charged in excess of that cap must be refunded. This statement is prescribed by law but it does not relate to interests in the Hostplus PST.
3. Investment fees and costs includes an amount up to 0.00% for performance fees. The calculation basis for this amount is set out under“Additional explanation of fees and costs”.
4. These fees and costs are based on actual figures and estimates from the previous financial year, except in the case of performance fees which are generally averaged over 5 financial years. The fees and costs payable in respect of each future year may be higher or lower. Where estimates were used, they have been informed by management, historical and industry experience, as well as information from third party service providers.
