3 1. Hw super wrks CONTRIBUTIONS: Prviding yu meet the eligibility cnditins under superannuatin legislatin, the fllwing types f cntributins r ther amunts can be made t a superannuatin (accumulatin) accunt: Yur wn cntributins Cntributins frm yur emplyer Cntributins frm yur spuse (referred t as Spuse cntributins), and Rllvers r transfers frm ther acceptable superannuatin prducts. A mre detailed summary f the types f cntributins r amunts that can be paid int superannuatin and eligibility cnditins (cntributin rules) in superannuatin legislatin is utlined belw. Superannuatin Guarantee Cntributins Mst Australian emplyers are required by Gvernment legislatin t make superannuatin cntributins fr their emplyees called Superannuatin Guarantee (SG) cntributins. SG cntributins are presently 9.50% f a persn s rdinary time earnings (subject t a maximum dllar limit). The SG cntributin rate will gradually increase t 12% ver time. SG cntributins are required t be paid by an emplyer t a superannuatin fund at least quarterly. SG cntributins are cncessinal cntributins and are subject t cncessinal cntributin limits (refer t sectin 6 Hw super is taxed f this dcument fr infrmatin abut these limits). Fr further general infrmatin abut SG cntributins g t Other types f cntributins Emplyers can make additinal cntributins including under salary sacrifice arrangements. Salary sacrifice arrangements invlve an emplyee deciding (if their emplyer allws) t cntribute t superannuatin frm their befre-tax salary (that is, reducing their take hme pay). This is a vluntary arrangement between emplyer and emplyee. Additinal emplyer cntributins including salary-sacrifice cntributins are als cncessinal cntributins. Additinal emplyer cntributins (in particular, salary sacrifice cntributins) may be regarded as Reprtable Emplyer Superannuatin cntributins. Reprtable Emplyer Superannuatin cntributins are cntributins ver which the member has sme influence and cunt as incme when assessing a persn s eligibility fr a number f Gvernment benefits, including welfare benefits. Fr mre infrmatin abut Reprtable Emplyer Superannuatin cntributins, g t Members can make persnal cntributins r have cntributins made n their behalf by their spuse (called Spuse cntributins). Persnal cntributins and Spuse cntributins made frm after-tax salary are nn-cncessinal cntributins and are subject t nn-cncessinal cntributin limits (refer t sectin 6 Hw super is taxed f this dcument fr mre infrmatin abut these limits). Fr further general infrmatin abut the types f cntributins that can be made t superannuatin g t r Since 1 July 2017, the Gvernment allws all individuals under the age f 65, and thse aged 65 t 74 wh meet the wrk test, t claim a tax deductin fr persnal cntributins t eligible superannuatin funds up t the cncessinal cntributins cap. Other amunts that can be paid int superannuatin There are ther amunts that may be paid int a superannuatin fund such as certain disablement amunts n settlement f a disability claim (utside f superannuatin), prceeds frm the sale f a small business and superannuatin surced frm a freign superannuatin fund. Special rules apply t these amunts. If yu are ging t receive any f these amunts r are cnsidering payment f them int superannuatin, we recmmend yu btain apprpriately qualified advice. G t fr mre infrmatin. Rllvers/transfers int this prduct Yu may at any time rllver r transfer investments in ther superannuatin funds t yur accunt. In rder t d this, yu are required t cmplete the Rllver Frm. If yu have benefits in a number f funds, a separate frm must be cmpleted fr each fund. The frm is available frm r n request by cntacting Future Super n Befre clsing any ther superannuatin accunt that yu may have, yu shuld cnsider what csts yu may incur, what benefits yu may lse r any ther significant implicatins f clsing yur accunt.

Cntributin Rules and the Wrk Test 3 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

4 Fr persns under 65 years f age, any type f cntributin can be accepted. A cnnectin with wrk is nt required. Fr members aged 65 t 69, cntributins can nly be accepted fr r n behalf f a member if the member is gainfully emplyed n at least a part time basis during the financial year in which the cntributins are made (referred t as the Wrk Test). A persn is gainfully emplyed n a part time basis during a financial year if the persn has wrked at least 40 hurs in a perid f nt mre than 30 cnsecutive days in that financial year. Mandated emplyer cntributins (fr example, SG cntributins) can als be accepted. Fr members aged 70 and under 75, cntributins can nly be accepted frm a member if the member satisfies the Wrk Test. Mandated emplyer cntributins can als be accepted. Spuse cntributins cannt be made fr a member aged 70 r mre. Fr members wh are 75 and ver, nly mandated emplyer cntributins (fr example, cntributins made under an award r ther industrial arrangements) can be accepted. Superannuatin funds cannt accept a single nn-cncessinal cntributin in excess f a member s nn-cncessinal cntributins cap r member cntributins fr a member whse tax file number (TFN) is nt held by the fund. Cntributins made t a fund in cntraventin f the cntributin rules must be rejected r refunded. A refund may be adjusted fr any permissible investment fluctuatins, reasnable csts and insurance premiums fr cver prvided prir t the refund. Fr mre infrmatin abut nn-cncessinal cntributins, see sectin 6 Hw super is taxed f this dcument. Please Nte: the Fund will nt accept (r will refund within 30 days) any cncessinal cntributins received fr a member where a TFN is nt held fr that member. This decisin has been made t avid additinal tax (N-TFN tax) that we wuld have t pay (by deductin frm affected member accunts) n cncessinal cntributins where a TFN is nt held. MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS: Cntributins can nly be made fr a member wh has cmpleted an Applicatin Frm available frm r n request by cntacting If we receive a cntributin fr a persn that has nt cmpleted an Applicatin Frm the mnies will be returned. Cntributins can be made by: Direct transfers frm yur emplyer s payrll system (if yur emplyer permits) BPay A Superannuatin clearinghuse Cntributins can be made at any time and there is n minimum cntributin required. Persnalised BPay payment details will be sent t all new members when they jin Future Super. BPay details will be sent t all emplyers after they cmplete an Emplyer Applicatin Frm. When making cntributins by direct transfer f BPay yu will need t ensure that we receive a remittance shwing wh the cntributin is fr and the type f cntributin. A remittance can be prvided by t inf@myfuturesuper.cm.au r made nline thrugh the Emplyer Hub at myfuturesuper.cm.au/tls/emplyerhub. GOVERNMENT CO-CONTRIBUTIONS: C-cntributins are payments made by the Gvernment t the superannuatin accunts f eligible lw and middle-incme earners. T qualify fr the Gvernment C-cntributin, the cntributing member must have an assessable incme plus reprtable fringe benefits and reprtable emplyer superannuatin cntributins (eligible incme) belw a specified incme threshld and make persnal cntributins ut f their after tax incme (this des nt include salary sacrifice, SG r spuse cntributins). Yu must als have a Ttal Superannuatin Balance less than the transfer balance cap n 30 June f the year befre the relevant financial year and yu cannt have cntributed an amunt mre than yur nn-cncessinal cntributins cap fr the relevant financial year. Yu are nt entitled t a super c-cntributin fr any persnal cntributins yu have made that have been allwed as a tax deductin The Gvernment c-cntributin scheme extends t the self-emplyed, prvided they satisfy eligibility criteria fr the ccntributin. T be eligible, a self-emplyed persn must be under age 71 at the end f the incme year and: 4 Earn 10% r mre f their eligible incme fr that year frm running a business, eligible emplyment, r a cmbinatin f bth nte that fr this definitin, incme is nt reduced by deductins that result frm running a business; and Earn belw the incme threshld applicable in the incme year this includes assessable incme plus reprtable fringe benefits plus reprtable emplyer superannuatin cntributins less tax deductins fr running a business (nt Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

Fr the amunt f ccntributins and incme threshlds applicable frm year t year, full eligibility criteria and ther infrmatin abut the Gvernment c-cntributin, g t CONTRIBUTION SPLITTING: Cncessinal cntributins such as SG cntributins, salary sacrifice cntributins and persnal deductible cntributins can be split with yur eligible spuse (including a defact spuse f the same r ppsite sex). It is nt pssible t split nncncessinal cntributins. Nt all superannuatin funds ffer cntributins splitting, but we d. T split cntributins, yu must cmplete a Cntributins Splitting applicatin which is available n request by phning Only 85% f cncessinal cntributins made t a fund may be split because 15% f these cntributins are rdinarily deducted fr tax when received. We may make whatever adjustments we cnsider apprpriate t the splittable amunt fr any tax liabilities. Splittable cncessinal cntributins are als subject t a maximum f yur cncessinal cntributins limit. There are certain amunts that may be held in a superannuatin accunt that may nt be split, such as benefits subject t a family law payment split r payment flag, rllvers frm ther funds r emplyer terminatin payments. Generally, nly cntributins made in the financial year prir t the financial year when the cntributins splitting applicatin is ldged with a fund can be split. Yu can als apply t split cntributins made in the financial year in which yu transfer r rllver t anther fund (prvided the applicatin is made befre the transfer r rllver ccurs). Hw des cntributin splitting wrk? We keep recrds f the amunt f cntributins which yu are eligible t split with yur spuse fr a given financial year. Shuld yu wish t make a cntributins split, we will prvide details f thse cntributins when yu request a Cntributins Splitting Frm. Yur spuse must be either: Aged less than their preservatin age; r Between their preservatin age and 65 and nt permanently retired. If an applicatin is accepted, the cntributins will be split by being paid t the superannuatin accunt f yur spuse within 90 days f receiving the applicatin. RESTRICTIONS ON WHEN YOU MAY ACCESS YOUR BENEFITS: Superannuatin is a lng-term investment. The Gvernment has placed restrictins n when yu can access yur benefits. In general yur benefits are preserved and cannt be paid t yu until yu have reached age 65, r have reached yur preservatin age and have retired, r yu have satisfied sme ther cnditin f release. Yur investment (als referred t as yur benefit ) is the cntributins and rllvers that have been made, plus insurance prceeds (if any), and investment earnings, less any fees and csts, insurance premiums, gvernment taxes and withdrawals. Frm 1 July 1999, all cntributins made by r fr a member and all investment earnings are preserved. Preservatin Age If yu were brn befre 1st July 1960, the preservatin age is 55 years and increases by ne year in accrdance with the table belw. The maximum age fr preservatin f benefits is 60. Date f Birth Benefits preserved until yu reach the age f Befre 1 July July 1960 t 30 June July 1961 t 30 June July 1962 t 30 June July 1963 t 30 June July 1964 and after 60 Until yur preservatin age is reached, in mst circumstances, yu are unable t withdraw super even if yu cease t be in the emplyment f yur emplyer. The circumstances in which yur benefit may be released t yu if yu are an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen r permanent resident include: 5 yu permanently retire frm the wrkfrce at r after yur preservatin age yur emplyment terminates at r after age 60; Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

6 yu are permanently incapacitated; yu die; yu suffer a terminal medical cnditin (as defined in superannuatin legislatin); yu attain age 65; severe financial hardship; cmpassinate grunds (if apprved by the relevant gvernment bdy); the amunt in yur accunt is less than $200; any ther circumstances allwed by law, fr example, n presentatin f an Australian Taxatin Office (ATO) Release Authrity. If yu are a temprary resident, the circumstances in which yur benefit may be released t yu are mre limited (eg. death, permanent incapacity). Yu may als access yur benefit if yur visa has expired and yu have departed Australia. Fr mre infrmatin cntact Prtability While accessing yur benefit in cash is subject t restrictins, yur benefit may be transferred t anther superannuatin prduct that cmplies with relevant superannuatin law if yur emplyment changes r at any ther time. Under prtability arrangements members can rllver r transfer superannuatin accunts int a fund f their chice. Prtability rules mean members can transfer part r all f the accunt balance f their benefit t anther superannuatin fund at least nce every 12 mnths. The prtability rules allw us t refuse a prtability request in sme circumstances; fr example, an amunt f less than $5,000 is left in the accunt. The maximum time perid fr prcessing transfer requests is 30 days frm the date f the initial request and when all relevant infrmatin has been received. If yu request t transfer yur superannuatin accunt t anther fund, we must be satisfied that yu have received r knw that yu can request all the infrmatin yu reasnably need t understand the impact f yur request n yur benefits. Fr example, any insurance cver will cease if yu leave the Fund. If yu require any further infrmatin prir t making a prtability request, cntact , send a written request t: GPO Bx 1858, Sydney NSW 2001r inf@myfuturesuper.cm.au. Benefit Payment Requirements - General When any benefit is paid frm yur accumulatin accunt, it must cmprise bth tax-free and taxable cmpnents, in the same prprtins as yur ttal accumulatin interest. As a result f Gvernment anti-mney laundering and cunter-terrrism financing legislatin (AML/CTF legislatin), yu may be required t prvide prf f yur identity prir t being able t access yur benefits in cash, called custmer identificatin and verificatin requirements. These requirements may als be applied by us frm time t time in relatin t the administratin f yur superannuatin benefits as required r cnsidered apprpriate under the AML/CTF legislatin. Yu will be ntified f any requirements when applicable. If yu d nt cmply there may be cnsequences, fr example, a delay in the payment f yur benefits. Benefit Payment Requirements On death Generally, benefits must be paid t ne r mre f yur dependants r yur legal persnal representative. Yur dependants include yur spuse (including a qualifying defact spuse f the same r ppsite sex), child (including a child f yur spuse), a persn financially dependent n yu, r smene with whm yu have an interdependency relatinship. Dependants / Interdependency: The superannuatin and tax law definitins f dependant include any persn with whm the member has an interdependency relatinship. Tw peple have an interdependency relatinship if: They have a clse persnal relatinship; They live tgether; One r each f them prvides the ther with financial supprt; and One r each f them prvides the ther with dmestic supprt and persnal care. If each f these cnditins is met, there is an interdependency relatinship and each persn is a dependant f the ther. In additin, if a clse persnal relatinship exists but the ther requirements abve are nt satisfied because f a physical, intellectual r psychiatric disability (e.g. ne persn lives in a psychiatric institutin suffering frm a psychiatric disability), then an interdependency relatinship may still exist. Beneficiaries f superannuatin benefits may be required t prvide prf f identity prir t being able t receive any benefits as part f custmer identificatin and verificatin requirements as a result f Gvernment anti-mney laundering and cunter-terrrism financing legislatin (AML/CTF legislatin). If they d nt cmply there may be cnsequences, fr example, a delay in the payment f benefits. 6 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

7 Death Benefit Nminatins Yu can nminate a beneficiary fr payment f a lump sum death benefit, n either a nn-lapsing binding r a nn-binding basis, by cmpleting the relevant Nminatin f Beneficiaries Frm available frm r n request by cntacting Alternatively, send a written request t: GPO Bx 1858, Sydney NSW 2001 Nn- Binding Nminatins: A nn-binding death benefit nminatin is a written request made by the member that suggests t the Trustee the beneficiaries that may receive his/her benefit in the event f the member s death. The Trustee has the final say as t wh shuld get death benefits. The Trustee will cnsider the member s nminatin but is nt bund t fllw it. The Trustee has the discretin t pay t any f the member s dependants r legal persnal representative (s) r a cmbinatin f bth. Nn-Binding nminated beneficiaries may be changed at any time by written ntice. Nn-lapsing Binding Nminatins: A binding death benefit nminatin is a written directin t the Trustee that sets ut the dependants and/r legal persnal representative, as decided by a member, t receive his/her benefit in the event f the member s death. When yu make a valid binding nminatin, yu decide wh receives yur benefit when yu die, and hw much f the benefit they receive. Nn-lapsing binding nminatins d nt have an expiry date and will remain valid until yu either revke yur nminatin r update yur nminatin. T ensure yu make a valid binding nminatin: each death benefit nminee must be either yur dependant r yur legal persnal representative (as defined in superannuatin law) yu must ensure that the prprtin f the benefit that will be paid t yur nminated persn r each f thse nminated persns is certain and ascertainable. If it is nt clear what percentage is t be paid t whm and/r the percentages d nt add up t 100%, yur nminatin will be invalid yur nminatin must be in writing yu must sign and date yur nminatin in the presence f tw witnesses, being persns: - each wh has turned 18 years ld; and - neither f whm is mentined in the nminatin; and yur nminatin must cntain a declaratin signed and dated by the witnesses stating that the nminatin was signed by yu in their presence. If a binding death benefit nminatin is valid and in effect at the date f the member s death, the Trustee must pay yur benefit t the beneficiaries nminated in the prprtins set ut in the member s binding death benefit nminatin. Hwever, the Trustee is nt required t cmply with a death benefit nminatin if the Trustee is aware that the payment under the nminatin, r the ldgement f failure t revke the nminatin wuld be a breach f a Curt Order. In the event that yur nminatin is nt valid at the time f yur death, e.g. because yur nminatin was nt a dependant at the time f yur death, the Trustee will pay the benefit in its abslute discretin. We recmmend that yu peridically review yur nminatin as it is yur respnsibility t ensure that yur Binding Nminatin cntinues t be apprpriate in accrdance with yur persnal circumstances. Yu may revke r update yur nn-lapsing binding nminatin at any time by writing t the Trustee. Wh can I nminate as a beneficiary? Yu can nminate a dependant r yur legal persnal representative. If yu nminate yur Legal Persnal Representative it is imprtant that yu have a valid Will and keep it up-t date, as the Trustee must pay yur death benefit t yur estate. Under superannuatin law, dependants include the fllwing: any spuse (including a same-sex legal r defact partner), any child (including a child f a spuse), any persn in an interdependent relatinship with yu, r any ther persn wh the Trustee cnsiders was dependent n yu fr maintenance r supprt, at the date f yur death. 7 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

8 Smene can be in an interdependent relatinship with yu if: yu have a clse persnal relatinship, yu live tgether, ne r each f yu prvides the ther with financial supprt, and ne r each f yu prvides the ther with dmestic supprt and persnal care. Dependency can als arise where tw peple have a clse persnal relatinship but dn t live tgether r prvide each ther with financial supprt r persnal care because f physical, intellectual r psychiatric disability. Fr mre infrmatin n dependants please cntact the Fund Administratr. Hw d I ensure my binding death benefit nminatin is valid? When yu initially fill in yur frm yu must d the fllwing: cmplete all sectins f the frm ensure the beneficiaries are dependants r yur Legal Persnal Representative ensure the benefit allcatin between yur beneficiaries adds up t % ensure yu sign and date the frm in frnt f tw witnesses, wh must be ver 18 years f age and nt nminated as beneficiaries send the cmpleted frm via pst t GPO Bx 1858, Sydney NSW 2001 Yur nminatin may becme invalid if: ne f yur beneficiaries dies befre yu d ne f yur nminated dependants is nt a dependant at the time f yur death, r yu are n lnger a member f Future Super at the time f yur death. the nminatin was nt made directly by yu (it is the Trustee plicy nt t accept nminatins thrugh Pwer f Attrneys, r frm anyne ther than yu) If yur nminatin is invalid at the time f yur death, the Trustee will treat it as a nn-binding nminatin and Trustee will pay the benefit at its abslute discretin. What will the Administratr d? It s imprtant that, like a Will, yu keep yur binding nminatin up-t-date.. The Administratr will write t yu and cnfirm any new, amended r cancelled nminatin. Death Benefit Nminatins in Yur Annual Statement We will cnfirm yur death benefit nminatin details each year with yur Annual Member statement. It is imprtant that yu take nte f this and review yur nminatin t ensure it cntinues t suit yur circumstances especially if they have changed. Yu can update r revke yur nminatin at any time by writing t the Trustee. CHOICE OF SUPERANNUATION FUND: Under superannuatin law yu may be able t chse which superannuatin fund yu wish t jin, as lng as the fund cmplies with certain requirements. That is, it is an eligible chice fund. Upn chsing a fund which is different t that nminated by yur emplyer, yu will be required t prvide written details f the fund, and written evidence that it will accept yur emplyer s cntributins. If yu d nt select a fund, r yu select a fund that is nt an eligible chice fund, yur cntributins will be paid t the emplyer s default fund. The default fund must ffer minimum death insurance cver. Fr mre infrmatin abut chice f fund, g t r cntact yur emplyer. TRANSFERS TO AN ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER FUND (ERF): Superannuatin legislatin allws superannuatin trustees t transfer benefits t an eligible rllver fund (ERF) as determined by the trustee. We have decided that benefits may be transferred t an ERF as permitted frm time t time. The ERF we have decided t use is called the Super Mney Eligible Rllver Fund ( SMERF ). The cntact details f the ERF are: PO Bx 1282 Albury NSW 2640 Tel: smerf@diversa.cm.au Website: 8 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

9 Once yur benefit is transferred t SMERF yu becme a member f SMERF and cease t be a member f Future Super. Any insurance cver applicable t yu in the Fund will als cease. A Terminatin Fee may apply t the transfer depending n the amunt f yur benefit. SMERF has different investments and fees and csts t Future Super. It des nt prvide insurance cver. If yu wuld like further infrmatin abut the features f SMERF, cntact the SMERF Fund Administratr fr a cpy f their prduct disclsure statement. Diversa Trustees Limited is als the trustee f SMERF and receive remuneratin in this capacity. UNCLAIMED MONIES AND LOST SUPER: In certain circumstances prescribed under the Superannuatin (Unclaimed Mney and Lst Members) Act 1999, superannuatin benefits must be treated as unclaimed mney and paid t the ATO. These circumstances include: if we lse cntact with yu after yu reach yur pensinable age (65) and it s been a perid f five years since we last had cntact with yu and we have nt received cntributins, rllvers r ther amunts fr yu fr tw years lst accunts with balances f less than $6,000 (small accunts); and lst accunts which have been inactive fr a perid f 12 mnths where we are satisfied, based n the infrmatin reasnably available t us, that we will never be able t pay the amunt t the accunt hlder (inactive accunts f unidentifiable member); if yu are a frmer temprary resident whse visa has expired, have departed Australia withut claiming yur superannuatin benefits within 6 mnths and the ATO issues a ntice t the Fund requesting payment. Unclaimed mnies can be claimed directly frm the ATO. In the case f frmer temprary residents this can ccur at any time after departing Australia, subject t the payment f applicable tax. Unfrtunately, if superannuatin benefits are transferred t the ATO as unclaimed mnies, they will nt attract interest nr will the unclaimed amunt retain any assciated insurance cver. The ATO has an unclaimed mnies register that can be checked fr yu. Fr mre infrmatin yu can cntact the ATO n r g t If yu becme lst, we are required t advise the ATO Lst Member Register. Yu can search the Lst Member Register by ging t If yu are a frmer temprary resident whse superannuatin benefits is transferred t the ATO as unclaimed mney, yu will nt be ntified f this r receive an exit statement after the transfers ccurs. We will rely n relief prvided by the Australian Securities & Investments Cmmissin (ASIC) Class Order [CO 09/437] which says, in effect, that superannuatin trustees are nt bliged t meet certain disclsure requirements in relatin t nn-residents that have ceased t hld an interest in the fund as a result f the payment f unclaimed superannuatin t the Cmmissiner f Taxatin. If yu require any further infrmatin cntact SPLITTING OF SUPERANNUATION BENEFITS UPON RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN: In the event f a marriage breakdwn, yur superannuatin may be split between yu and yur ex-spuse under Family Law legislatin, including a qualifying de fact spuses (f the same r ppsite sex). This can be dne under a superannuatin agreement r a Family Curt rder. A flag can als be impsed n yur superannuatin benefit. This will preclude yu frm cashing, transferring r rlling ver benefits in yur accunt while it is in place. A flag can be remved by agreement with yur ex-spuse r by an rder frm the Family Curt. Splitting f benefits may result in yur ex-spuse being entitled t all r part f yur benefits and the transfer f their entitlements t a new accunt in Future Super r anther superannuatin prduct ver which yu will nt have any rights r be able t make decisins. Where an eligible persn infrms us that they need infrmatin t prperly negtiate a superannuatin agreement r t assist in cnnectin with family law rules, we may be required t prvide the infrmatin and cannt tell yu abut the enquiry. These laws are cmplex and members and their spuses shuld each seek independent legal advice in the event f a marriage r ther relatinship breakdwn. 2.

Risks f super RISKS: It is imprtant t understand that there are risks inherent in any investment. The purpse f this sectin is t elabrate the types f risks that may apply t an investment in the Fund. While we are nt able t remve all the risks assciated with an investment in this Fund, the Fund s Investment Manager, Future Super Asset Management Ltd. (ABN AFSL 12 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

13 238184) emplys a range f investment risk management strategies t identify, evaluate and manage these risks. Investment risk means the value f yur investment culd fall. Rises and falls in investment value ccur fr a variety f reasns. Factrs that can negatively impact n yur investments include: Changes in the ecnmic and plitical climate; Changes in gvernment plicies and laws including superannuatin, taxatin and scial security laws; Mvement in currency markets (freign currency risk is described in mre detail belw); Changes in interest rates; The general state f the Australian and internatinal ecnmies; Inadequate diversificatin; and Investment decisins made by the Investment Manager and any external fund managers. The risk f an investment is measured by the likely fluctuatins (that is, rises and falls) in returns. In general, the higher the expected returns, the higher the risk assciated with the investment. Investment risk is influenced by the extent f diversificatin in the investments made. Diversificatin f investments can help manage investment risk. The Fund s investment strategy emplys different degrees f diversificatin in underlying assets r asset types. Risk prfile Investments with a higher prprtin f grwth assets, such as shares and prperty, have histrically prvided better lngterm returns than thse which have a higher expsure t incme prducing assets, such as fixed interest and cash. Hwever, investments with a higher prprtin f grwth assets are als generally subject t a higher risk f a shrt-term lss in value. Investments with a higher prprtin f incme prducing assets are generally subject t a lwer risk f a shrt-term lss in value. Our investment strategy s risk prfile is based n the Standard Risk Measure. The Standard Risk Measure is based n industry guidance t allw members t cmpare investment ptins that are expected t deliver a similar number f negative annual returns ver any 20 year perid. The Standard Risk Measure is nt a cmplete assessment f all frms f investment risk, fr instance it des nt detail what the size f a negative return culd be r the ptential fr a psitive return t be less than a member may require meeting their bjectives. Further, it des nt take int accunt the impact f administratin fees and tax n the likelihd f a negative return. The Standard Risk Measure is gruped int the fllwing bands: Risk Band Risk Label Estimated number f negative annual returns ver any 20 year perid 1 Very Lw Less than Lw 0.5 t less than 1 3 Lw t medium 1 t less than 2 4 Medium 2 t less than 3 5 Medium t high 3 t less than 4 6 High 4 t less than 6 7 Very high 6 r Greater Members shuld still ensure they are cmfrtable with the risks and ptential lsses assciated with ur investment strategy. Sme specific investment risks assciated with particular investments are described in further detail belw. Hw we manage investment risks The investment strategy fr Future Super takes int accunt a range f criteria including: the membership prfile the risks invlved in making, hlding and realising investments, and the likely return frm thse investments the cmpsitin f the investments as a whle including the extent t which the investments are diverse r invlve the ptin being expsed t risks frm inadequate diversificatin the liquidity f investments. Diversificatin risk The extent f diversificatin may impact the amunt f investment risk assciated with a particular investment strategy. Diversificatin in underlying assets r investments can help mderate the risk f lwer investment returns and a lack f diversificatin can increase investment risk. 13 Additinal Infrmatin Bklet

14 Future Super ffers tw investment ptins which have a diversified investment strategy. The Balanced Grwth ptin has a 70/30 split between grwth and incme assets, and the Grwth ptin has a 75/25 split between grwth and incme assets. We recmmend yu cnsult a licensed r authrised financial adviser fr assistance with hw t manage yur investment risk having regard t yur persnal bjectives, situatin r needs. Freign Currency Risk Investment in internatinal equities may give rise t freign currency expsure. This means the value f freign investments may vary as exchange rates change. Fluctuatins in freign currency can have bth a psitive and negative impact n the investments with expsure t internatinal equities, depending n hw the investments are made. Liquidity Risk Investments may becme illiquid due t market develpments r ther factrs (that is, they cannt be readily cnverted t cash, at all r quickly enugh t meet liabilities, in particular benefit payments). We manage, analyse and mnitr the liquidity psitin f the Fund and will take such actin as may be required t enable the Fund t discharge its liabilities and meet its cash flw requirements in the best interests f members as a whle. Fr example, we may: alter the transfer, withdrawal r investment prcesses; alter the Fund s allcatin t cash; freeze withdrawals frm illiquid r impaired assets temprarily r permanently; r cease accepting further investments in illiquid r impaired assets temprarily r permanently. Derivatives Risk Derivatives are generally cntracts that call fr mney t change hands at sme future date, such as cmpany issued ptins r listed exchange traded warrants r freign exchange cntracts. The Trustee des nt permit any investments directly in any futures, ptins r ther derivative instruments. Insurance risk Insurance is btained frm a third party. This invlves the risk that the third party Insurer may nt be able t meet its bligatins under the cntract f insurance. We cannt guarantee the payment f an insured benefit r the perfrmance f the Insurer. Ethical screening risk Future Super s investments are screened in relatin t ethical and ther values. There is risk that the cmpanies change their peratins r philsphy, and the Trustee being unable t redeem its investment quickly enugh. This risk is managed by assessing the latest infrmatin available and the use f external expertise t mnitr cnsistency f Future Super s investments with the ethical and ther values that are taken int accunt when making investment decisins. In additin, ethical screening reduces the pssible number f investments Future Super may invest in. Yur investment is nt guaranteed. The value f yur investment can rise r fall. Neither the Trustee, Diversa Trustee Limited, any related entities r any ther persn referred t in this dcument guarantee the capital invested, yur accunt, underlying investments r the perfrmance f investments. 4.
