7 IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation PDS How does IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation work? What is super? Super is a long-term, tax-effective savings vehicle used to help you accumulate money to support yourself during retirement. Access to your super is restricted to ensure it is available in your retirement. Longer life expectancies mean many Australians are spending more time in retirement than ever before, increasing the importance of accumulating super. Saving through super can be much more tax-effective for most people than saving the same amount outside super. Any contributions your employer makes or you make personally that are tax deductible (up to a certain limit) and any investment earnings on your super are taxed at a maximum of 15 per cent, rather than your marginal tax rate which could be as high as 45 per cent. Investing in IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation Contributions are invested by us on your behalf in accordance with your investment strategy. The value of the investment options you select forms part of your super account. You do not directly invest into (or hold an interest in) any investment option. This means investing in Pursuit Focus is not the same as personally investing in managed investments. IOOF Portfolio Service Superannuation Fund IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation Making a start You can start your super account with an amount (called a contribution) of $1,000 or $500 if you set up a Regular Contribution Plan. Contributions can come from a range of sources rollovers from other super funds, employer contributions (including salary sacrifice contributions), personal contributions and even contributions from the Government (called Government cocontributions). Once started, you can continue to add to your super account on an ongoing basis. The Everything you need to know about contributions to super section in the IOOF Pursuit general reference guide (PFS.12) details the types of contributions that can be made and provides information on age restrictions and caps on contributions. See also the How super is taxed? section in PFS.12 for details of the tax concessions and possible tax liabilities relating to super contributions. Contributions made into your account are credited first to your Cash Account. Your contributions (less any nominated Member Advice Fee Upfront 6 ) will be invested in accordance with your Investment Instructions. Information on how your Cash Account balance is invested is contained on page 10. How to contribute One of the benefits of Pursuit Focus is that you can contribute to your super account using a variety of methods such as Bpay, cheque and Regular Contribution Plan (direct debit). Unfortunately when it comes to super contributions, we cannot accept cash or credit cards. All cheques should be made payable to: IOOF Pursuit - [your full name or account number] Investment options Insurance options 6 For more information regarding the member advice fees available, refer to page 16 of this PDS. 5

8 Types of contributions Initial contribution If your initial contribution is made by cheque, please complete Part B or C of Step 3 of the Application for Personal Superannuation Form A (Application form) located in the IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation Forms Booklet (Forms booklet). If your initial contribution is made by direct debit (one-off), please complete the Direct Debit Request (DDR) Form E (Direct Debit Request form). If you are transferring your super benefits from another super fund, please complete Part A of Step 3. The transfer must be accompanied by a cheque. Alternatively, we can facilitate the transfer on your behalf; if you complete the Request to transfer a superannuation benefit Form B (Transfer form). If you are transferring your benefit from another Pursuit or IOOF Portfolio Service super or pension product, please complete Part D of Step 3 of the Application form. Additional contribution (one-off by cheque or Bpay) You can make additional one-off contributions to your account by either cheque or Bpay (if this facility is available from your nominated financial institution). For contributions made via Bpay, a Biller code and customer reference number (CRN) are provided on your Statement of Membership. Where a one-off contribution is made by cheque, you may nominate investment options which differ from your Primary Instruction (refer to Specific Instruction on page 8). Additional transfers You can transfer your benefits held with another super fund to Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation at any time. The transfer must be accompanied by a cheque or alternatively, if you complete the Transfer form, we can facilitate a transfer from another super fund or super income stream on your behalf. Regular Contribution Plan (direct debit) A Regular Contribution Plan facility allows you to set up a direct debit arrangement for regular monthly, quarterly or half-yearly contributions to your super account by completing a Direct Debit Request form. The direct debit will occur from your nominated account with a financial institution once a month or at the frequency you have chosen. Payroll deductions You can also make personal contributions by a regular deduction from your after-tax salary, as agreed with your employer. Contributions can be paid by Bpay, direct debit or cheque. Withdrawing money from personal superannuation Accessing your super The Commonwealth Government has placed restrictions on when you can access your super account. Usually you cannot access your super until you retire, after you reach at least age 55. However, if you were born from 1960 onwards, you may have a later access age (up to age 60). This is known as your preservation age. To see when you are eligible to access your super after you retire, see the Accessing your super section in PFS.12. What are your access options? Your money can stay in super as long as you like as you don t have to access your benefits when you retire. However, once you reach preservation age there is a tax-effective way to access your super. You can convert your accumulated super into a retirement income stream such as a Pursuit Focus Allocated Pension. This is a particularly tax-effective way to take your benefits because not only are the payments tax-free from age 60, but the investment assets backing the pension are held in a tax-free environment. Even if you are still working, once you reach your preservation age you can commence a Pursuit Focus Allocated Pension using the transition to retirement (TTR) pension option. Under this option, you can receive tax-effective income through your pension while continuing to contribute to your super account. Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation members can transfer their super into a Pursuit Focus Allocated Pension (including the TTR pension option) without incurring Capital Gains Tax (CGT). See the Accessing your super section in PFS.12 for more information about accessing your super benefits including the circumstances which may enable you to access your super early. What happens if you decide to leave or make a withdrawal? You can ask us to transfer your account balance to another super fund at any time and we usually have to do this within 30 days. You can also ask us to transfer your account balance to another super product in the Fund. See the Other general information section in PFS.12. If you qualify 7, you can make a lump sum (cash) withdrawal. The minimum amount you can withdraw is the lesser of $1,000 or your remaining account balance. Withdrawals will be redeemed from the investment option with the highest balance. Alternatively, a withdrawal can be redeemed from the investment option(s) you specify. Upon leaving Pursuit Focus, you will receive an exit statement showing your closing balance and all transactions since the opening of your account or your last Annual Statement. Personal and spouse contributions and the amount should be clearly identified to avoid confusion with employer contributions such as salary sacrifice contributions. 6 7 Commonwealth Government regulations impose restrictions on when you can make lump sum (cash) withdrawals from super (see the Accessing your super section in PFS.12).

9 IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation PDS Dependants paying benefits if you die If you die while you are a Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation account holder, super law requires us to pay your Death Benefit (your account balance including any insurance proceeds that may be payable as a result of your death) to one or more of your dependants and/or your estate. When you apply to become a member, you are able to make a Binding Death Benefit Nomination (Binding Nomination) or Non- Binding Death Benefit Nomination (Non-Binding Nomination) to inform us how you would like us to pay your Death Benefit. You can nominate one or more people and allocate your benefit between them in any proportion. Any person you nominate must be a dependant as defined by super law. Dependants include your spouse, de facto spouse, same-sex partner and children. Binding Nominations If you have a valid Binding Nomination in effect at the date of your death, we must pay your benefit to the dependant(s) and/or Legal Personal Representative that you have nominated in the proportions that you have set out in your nomination. A valid Binding Nomination remains in effect for three years from the date it was first signed, last amended or confirmed. Non-Binding Nominations Your nomination is not binding on us but rest assured we will take it into account when we determine to whom to pay your benefit. You can amend your Non-Binding Nomination at any time by sending us a new Non-Binding Nomination. No nomination If you do not make a nomination, we must pay your Death Benefit to your Legal Personal Representative, unless your estate is insolvent. Further information about dependant nominations is available in the Death benefit nominations section in PFS.12. Important note When we receive evidence of your death, we have discretion to sell your managed investments and put your money into your Cash Account until the Death Benefit is paid. We would normally exercise this discretion unless advised otherwise. Making investment choices Your investment strategy Pursuit Focus offers a range of IOOF multi-manager Trusts which provide you with access to a spread of different asset classes designed to meet particular investment objectives. The IOOF multi-manager Trusts simplify the investment selection process by combining the best of the best manager blends to suit your investment objectives. Your investment strategy should be a reflection of your attitude to investing, the level of risk you are comfortable accepting and your investment timeframe. The IOOF Pursuit Focus investment guide (PFO.11) provides more information about the range of investment strategies and options. Choose what is right for you The investment options available vary in: level of risk investment objectives (goals) strategies (ways of achieving those goals) types of assets in which investments are made. This allows you to invest in a range of investment options which may be diversified across different asset classes, fund managers and investment styles.

Your Investment Instructions Your Investment Instructions outline how you would like your contributions (less any Member Advice Fee Upfront 8 ) to be invested. You can instruct us to invest your contributions in two different ways: Primary Instruction Specific Instruction. You provide your Investment Instructions in Step 4 of the Application form contained in the Forms booklet. Types of Investment Instructions Primary Instruction This is your main Investment Instruction and is used for all contributions unless alternative instructions are provided to us. A Primary Instruction will include: the managed investment(s) you wish to invest in for each contribution. the percentage of your contribution you want to invest in each managed investment the required allocation to your Cash Account (which must be at least one per cent). To confirm your allocation to each managed investment, you can view your current Primary Instruction via Portfolio Online or you can call our client services team on Specific Instruction This is a one-off instruction for contributions made by cheque only. When provided, this one-off Specific Instruction will override the use of the Primary Instruction for that particular contribution. Please note that the total percentage allocated to each managed investment and your allocation to the Cash Account (of at least one per cent), must add up to 100 per cent for both types of Investment Instructions. Re-investing income distributions Income distributions may be paid from your investment option(s) and you determine how this income is to be re-invested. Any income distributions that you receive from your investment option(s) are automatically credited to your Cash Account. This income can then be re-invested using one of the following two methods (only one method can be selected): Re-invest (default option) This method allows you to automatically re-invest 100 per cent of the income distribution back into the same managed investment that made the income distribution. The re-investment will normally be completed within five business days following receipt of your income distribution into your Cash Account. Where we have suspended or stopped investments in a managed investment or where a managed investment is redeemed in full (except where a managed investment is no longer held due to the requirement to top up your Cash Account) income distributions received from that managed investment will be retained in the Cash Account. 8 8 For more information regarding the member advice fees available, refer to page 16 of this PDS.

11 IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation PDS Re-investment of income distributions will involve the purchase of new units in one or more managed investments. Please note that you may not have the most recent product disclosure statement for the managed investment at the time these re-investments are made. Retain in your Cash Account This method allows you to leave all income distributions in your Cash Account 9 to accumulate. Income distributions will remain in your Cash Account until we receive an Investment Instruction from you. Changing your Investment Instructions To update your Primary Instruction, please complete the Investment Instructions form which is available from our website ( and send it to us. Where we have suspended or stopped investments in a managed investment or where a managed investment is redeemed in full (except where a managed investment is no longer held due to the requirement to top up your Cash Account), that managed investment will be removed from any Investment Instruction and the instructions will be re-weighted. We will do this automatically and you will not be advised of the change. An example Peter submits a request to fully redeem his holding in Investment C. As a result, Peter s Primary Instruction is automatically updated to remove Investment C and to re-weight the remaining investments. Managed investment Existing holding (%) Withdrawal request (%) Primary Instruction before (%) Primary Instruction after (%) Cash Account Investment A Investment B Investment C Changing your investment options (switching) Pursuit Focus gives you the ability to change your selected investment options. The decision is yours. Changing your managed investment selection generally requires you to redeem units from one or more of your existing managed investment and purchase units in one or more managed investments selected by you. This process is often referred to as a switching instruction. We currently do not charge a separate fee for switching between managed investments in your account. A switching instruction can be made by completing the Investment Instructions form which is available from our website ( Switching between managed investments generally involves redeeming units in one or more of your managed investments. This means you must complete a redemption transaction before you can purchase units in a new managed investment. The proceeds of any redemption transaction are first deposited into your Cash Account before units are purchased in the new investment option(s). The product disclosure statement for a managed investment may be updated or replaced by the fund manager from time to time. This means that you may not always have the most recent copy of the applicable product disclosure statement for a new managed investment before making your switch request. We provide electronic versions of product disclosure statements for the available managed investments via our website and Portfolio Online. You can also obtain a copy free of charge by contacting a financial adviser or by calling our client services team on Important note Switching between managed investments may give rise to a CGT liability which may reduce the value of your account. Please speak to a financial adviser or tax adviser for more information. A buy/sell spread may be incurred when switching between managed investments. See Transaction costs on page 16 and the product disclosure statement for the particular managed investment for details. 9 This may not reflect your retirement savings goals. 9

12 Your Cash Account Why do you have a Cash Account? Your Cash Account is used to process all cash transactions that occur within your super account. For example, all money paid into your account and any earnings from your investment options goes through your Cash Account and all fees, insurance premiums and taxes are paid out of this account. Competitive investment returns from your Cash Account The Cash Account provides you with exposure to a mix of Australian short-term money market securities and cash. Interest generated by these investments (less bank fees and charges) is calculated daily and credited monthly to your Cash Account. The Cash Account provides competitive returns when compared to cash funds. Any income distributed by your chosen investment options is deposited into your Cash Account. From there it can then be re-invested using one of the two methods available. See Re-investing income distributions on page 8. Minimum allocation to your Cash Account You are required to maintain a minimum of one per cent of your super account balance in your Cash Account. This amount is used for funding fees and expenses, taxes and insurance premiums (where applicable). You can nominate a higher percentage as your minimum Cash Account balance if you wish to fund these expenses as they fall due. If we determine that the balance in your Cash Account is likely to fall below zero within the next seven days, we will top up your Cash Account to one per cent of your account balance (or any higher percentage you have nominated) by redeeming the necessary amount from your managed investment with the highest balance. In making our determination we will take into consideration any fees, insurance premiums and taxes expected to be deducted from your Cash Account during this period. We recommend that you talk to a financial adviser about the minimum Cash Account requirement. 10

13 IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation PDS Taking out insurance Everyone s lifestyle is different. Only you truly understand the effect your death, disablement or inability to work would have on you and your family. While nobody wants to consider dying or suffering a permanent disability, the reality is that life is full of unexpected events. The right insurance cover can provide you with the peace of mind that you or your family will be able to survive financially in the event of an unexpected death, illness or injury. No doubt you already have insurance to protect your home, car or valuable possessions from damage or theft, but if you become seriously ill or injured, those assets could still be lost if you re unable to work to keep up with the repayments. This financial distress can be avoided by arranging adequate insurance to protect your family and lifestyle and best of all, this can all be done tax-effectively through super. You can choose to purchase insurance either through the group life and income protection insurance policies we have arranged with the Insurer or via a separate retail insurance policy. Either way, this can be achieved tax-effectively by paying the premiums for the life insurance you need with pre-tax dollars through your super account. Applications for insurance cover via a retail insurance policy are made under a specific product disclosure statement for the retail policy. Your financial adviser can assist you with this process. The following information relates to insurance purchased via group life and income protection insurance policies. Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover provides a lump sum benefit whereas Income Protection (often called salary continuance or income replacement) cover provides a regular monthly benefit for the insured period while you are off work due to illness or injury. What are the main insured benefits available? Type of insurance What is it? How much? Death TPD Income Protection Death cover provides your family with financial security in the event of your death. If you die, your insured benefit will be paid to your dependants or estate in addition to your super account balance. TPD cover provides you and your family with financial security in the event you become totally and permanently disabled and are unable to work. If this happens, your insured benefit may be paid out to you in addition to your super account balance. Income Protection cover provides you with a regular monthly income if you become totally disabled because of illness or injury and are unable to work and earn your income. You can choose a benefit payment period of two or five years or to age 65 after a 30, 60 or 90 day waiting period. There is no limit to the amount of Death Benefit you can apply for. The maximum TPD Benefit available is $5 million. The maximum amount of Income Protection insurance you can apply for is 75% of your Declared Earned Income (plus up to 10% of your Declared Earned Income as Superannuation Contributions Benefit) not exceeding $30,000 per month. 11

14 12 Who can apply? Eligibility for insurance is dependent on a number of factors including your age, type of occupation and in some cases hours worked. The eligibility requirements for Death, Death & TPD and Income Protection cover are set out in the IOOF Pursuit insurance guide (PFS.17). There are certain occupations considered by the Insurer to be hazardous or uninsurable. Please note that if you re working in one of these types of occupations at the time you apply for cover or an increase in cover, you might not be accepted for the cover you want. See the Hazardous occupations section in PFS.17. How to apply The first step is to read PFS.17 carefully as it provides a comprehensive explanation of the features and benefits available. You need to understand the costs involved, any exclusions or limitations and when a claim may be payable. To apply for insurance you have to complete the Application for Insurance - Form F (Insurance application) located in the Forms booklet (or your financial adviser may be authorised to use Portfolio Online to complete an online insurance application on your behalf). You need to be open and honest, providing as much detail as possible. This is called your duty of disclosure. The reason you need to be so honest is that if you fail to mention something relevant and you end up making a claim, the Insurer may decline your claim or may amend any benefit payable. Once the Insurer receives your application, they may ask us to contact you for further details, to provide medical records or to even take a few tests. We will notify you when your application has been accepted by the Insurer. When does cover commence? Your insurance cover will only commence when we notify you in writing of your acceptance and inform you of the initial premium payable for the type and amount of insurance cover applicable. All applications are subject to acceptance by the Insurer and us. Interim Accident cover may be provided if a claim results directly from an accident while your application for insurance cover is being considered up to a maximum of 90 days. Once insurance cover commences, we will deduct the premiums regularly from your Cash Account. What insured benefits are payable? The insured benefits that you may receive depend on the insurance cover you select: Death Benefit Terminal Illness Benefit TPD Benefit - there are various TPD definitions depending on your hours of work and employment status Income Protection Benefit (Total or Partial Disability benefit) - there are different definitions of Total Disability depending on your hours of work Interim Accident benefit Continuation Option. Further details of the insured benefits available are set out in the Types of insured benefits payable and the Insurer s definitions of each benefit section in PFS.17. What limitations and exclusions apply to your insurance? There are some restrictions on your cover. Please refer to PFS.17 for full details on the limitations and exclusions. When does cover cease? Your insurance cover will cease in some circumstances. See the When does cover cease? section in PFS.17 for further information. What will the premiums be? Premiums are the monthly cost that you will have to pay out of your super account for the cover. The insurance premiums you pay may differ depending on factors including: your age and sex your occupation and leisure activities your health and medical history whether or not you smoke the type and amount of cover you choose. To help you estimate how much you are likely to pay for the amount of insurance cover you want you should talk to your financial adviser or call our client services team on Your insurance premium is reviewed and recalculated each year on 1 July to take into account increases in your age. The new premium will be shown on your Annual Statement. Where you select a fixed premium benefit design, your sum insured will be adjusted (possibly up or down) each 1 July to take into account increases in your age. How to make a claim While we hope you do not ever need to make a claim, if you do, you need to notify us as soon as it is reasonably possible of an event that is likely to give rise to a claim. Who provides the insurance? Insurance cover available is provided by the Insurer. We, as Trustee, own all insurance policies issued. If you need to make a claim, then you need to contact us. We cannot pay you an insured benefit until the Insurer has first accepted your claim and paid the insurance proceeds to us. We do not guarantee the payment of an insured benefit or the performance of the Insurer. We can also change the Insurer. Any insured benefit we receive is credited to your Cash Account for you to access when we determine that you are eligible under super law.

15 IOOF Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation PDS What will this cost? Pursuit Focus Personal Superannuation is competitively priced and easy to understand. You are able to negotiate the remuneration structure payable to a financial adviser for financial advice and other services provided in relation to your investment. We do not build in any standard remuneration for a financial adviser as part of our Administration Fee. The following is a consumer advice warning that the Commonwealth Government requires all super providers to include in their PDS. It is a useful tool to help you compare the relative costs of our competitors using the same format. Fees and other costs DID YOU KNOW? Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns. For example, total annual fees and costs of 2 per cent of your account balance rather than 1 per cent could reduce your final return by up to 20 per cent over a 30-year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000). You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. You may be able to negotiate to pay lower contribution fees and management costs where applicable. Ask the fund or your financial adviser*. TO FIND OUT MORE If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website ( has a superannuation fee calculator to help you check out different fee options. * Only the member advice fee(s) can be negotiated with a financial adviser.
