Calculating your daily balance

 

Whenever you add money to your account, you’re buying 'units' in your chosen option.

 

For example, if you contribute $100, and the daily unit price is $1, you’ll receive 100 units. Over time, the value of your 100 units can move both up and down. So if the unit price goes up to $1.05, your units will be worth $105. If the unit price goes down to .95c, your units will be worth $95.

 

We calculate your account balance based on how many units you have, multiplied by the daily unit price. You can estimate your balance like this:

 

My total units x daily unit price = total value of your investment.

 

Remember, this is your investment for the long term. It’s designed so that it may be able to weather any ups and downs over the years.

Understanding your balance date

 

We calculate unit prices at the end of each business day. You’ll see the unit prices displayed for the previous business day. By allowing this bit of extra time, we can accurately gather all the information we need from international markets.

 

Occasionally, we may need to suspend our calculations when prices are changing rapidly, during market 'volatility'. If so, it might take a little longer to calculate unit prices and display your correct account balance.

Unit prices on withdrawals

 

If you make a withdrawal request by 3pm on a business day (Sydney time), we’ll apply the unit price for that day. You’ll then generally receive your money within seven working days. However, on rare occasions, withdrawals may be temporarily suspended.
