Market update
February Wrap Up - A natural reaction?
In February, markets reacted to President Trump's aggressive policies, causing uncertainty and disruption for investors. This led to lower US Treasury yields, a weaker dollar, and a pullback in stocks. While the long-term impact is unclear, short-term challenges include the administration's policies and a potential economic slowdown. We remain focused on medium- to long-term investment trends. Read more in the February Wrap Up.
- Contributions were first invested into the funds on 2 October 2007 (except for the Aggressive Fund). Contributions were first invested into the Aggressive Fund on 22 November 2023.
- The returns are calculated on the change in unit 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 no subsequent contributions or withdrawals. 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.
- Prior to 1 April 2011, the management fee was calculated and incorporated into the unit price daily, and deducted from the relevant fund monthly. From 1 April 2011, the management fee has not been incorporated into the unit price or deducted from the fund, but deducted from members accounts monthly. In order to display returns pre and post 1 April 2011 on a comparable basis, the management fee has been factored back in to the returns for the periods from 1 April 2011.
- A monthly administration fee of $2.50 applied until 28 September 2021 and is excluded from the calculation of the returns disclosed.
