Market update
April Wrap Up - A new market paradigm?
On 'Liberation Day', the U.S. announced sweeping tariffs on nearly all major trading partners, triggering a global market selloff, a falling US dollar, and surging US treasury yields. Though implementation was paused by month’s end prompting a market rebound, the move marked a potential shift in the global economic order with serious implications for investors.

- Returns are for periods after the commencement of PIE status. For all funds (except for the Aggressive Fund) this was 1 October 2007. Contributions were first invested into the Aggressive Fund on 22 November 2023.
- The returns are calculated on the change in exit price of the units in each fund for the period, adjusted for tax credits, and are the returns on funds invested at the beginning of the period, with all distributions reinvested and no subsequent withdrawals or additional investments. Returns for periods greater than 1 year are annualised. Returns for periods less than 1 year are not annualised.
- Since 7 September 2012, the cash portion of each fund has been managed using an active investment management style. The returns in previous periods reflect an index tracking investment management style for cash.
