This document has been prepared and issued by UniSuper Limited as Trustee of UniSuper. It contains information about the fees and costs for each of our investment options and more detail about other fees and costs associated with Accumulation 1 and Personal Account membership. References in this document to the Product Disclosure Statement refer to the Accumulation 1 or Personal Account Product Disclosure Statement, as applicable to the member. IMPORTANT INFORMATION UniSuper, ABN 91 385 943 850, MySuper Authorisation No. 91385943850448, is referred to as UniSuper or the Fund. UniSuper Limited, ABN 54 006 027 121, AFSL No. 492806, is referred to as USL or the Trustee.

Fees and costs 1 Consumer advisory warning 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% of your account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% 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. 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 (www.moneysmart.gov.au) has a superannuation calculator to help you check out different fee options. CHANGES TO FEES AND COSTS If changes (that aren t materially adverse) are made to fees and costs, updated information will be available at unisuper.com.au or by calling 1800 331 685. You can request a paper or electronic copy of updated information without charge. Fees and costs COMPETITIVE FEES AND NO COMMISSIONS UniSuper members benefit from the savings we achieve as one of the largest super funds in the country savings we pass on to you through competitive fees. We don t pay commissions, and our advisers don t receive commissions, so you can be sure of them putting your interests first. FEES AND COSTS This document shows fees and other costs that you may be charged. These fees and other costs may be deducted from your money, from the returns on your investment or from UniSuper s assets as a whole. Other fees, such as activity fees, advice fees for personal advice and insurance fees, may also be charged, but these will depend on the nature of the activity, advice or insurance chosen by you. Taxes, insurance fees and other costs relating to insurance are set out in the Product Disclosure Statement, and the How super is taxed and Insurance in your super booklets. You should read all the information about fees and other costs because it s important to understand their impact on your investment. PLEASE NOTE Unless otherwise noted, references to UniSuper Personal Accounts in this document also relate to UniSuper Spouse Accounts.

2 Fees and costs This table and others in this booklet set out the fees and other costs for the Balanced (MySuper) investment option and each other investment option offered by UniSuper. Type of fee Amount How and when paid Investment fee Administration fee Balanced investment option: 0.39% 1 per year. $96 per year ($8 per month). The investment fee accrues daily and is deducted from the Balanced investment option and any other option(s) you re invested in (as relevant). 1 $8 per month is deducted directly from your account. If any part of your account is invested in the Balanced investment option, the whole of this amount will be deducted from this option. If you don t have an investment in the Balanced investment option, the fee will be deducted proportionally across the investment options in your account. Buy-sell spread Nil. Not applicable. Switching fee The first switch per account in a financial year is free of charge. All subsequent switches will be charged a fee of $13.10 per switch. For members with an investment in the Balanced investment option prior to submitting their request, the fee will be deducted in full from this option prior to the switch being completed. If you don t have an investment in the Balanced investment option, the fee is deducted proportionally from the investment option(s) you have chosen. Exit fee Nil. Not applicable. Advice fees relating to all members investing in the Balanced investment option or any other investment option Other fees and costs 2 Indirect cost ratio (ICR) Nil. Balanced investment option 0.17% 1 per year. Not applicable. The ICR accrues daily and is deducted from the Balanced investment option and any other investment option(s) you re invested in (as relevant). 1 1 The ICR and investment fee shown above are indicative only and are based on the ICR and Investment fee for this investment option for the year ended 30 June 2017, including several components which are estimates only. The actual amount you ll be charged in subsequent financial years will depend on the actual fees, costs and taxes incurred by the Trustee in managing the investment option. The amounts of investment fees and ICRs for other investment options are set out on page 4, and these are paid at the same frequency and in the same manner as the Balanced investment option. 2 Further fees and costs such as fees for personal advice and insurance fees may apply. For more information, refer to Additional explanation of fees and costs on page 4.

Fees and costs 3 Example of annual fees and costs This table gives an example of how the fees and costs for the Balanced investment option can affect your superannuation investment over a one-year period. You should use this table to compare this superannuation product with other superannuation products. CHANGES TO FEES AND COSTS If changes (that aren t materially adverse) are made to fees and costs, updated information will be available at unisuper.com.au or by calling 1800 331 685. You can request a paper or electronic copy of updated information without charge. EXAMPLE BALANCED INVESTMENT OPTION BALANCE OF $50,000 Investment fee 0.39% 1 For every $50,000 you have in the superannuation product, you will be charged $195 each year. Plus Administration fee Plus $96 per year ($8 per month) And, you will be charged $96 in administration fees regardless of your balance. Indirect costs for the superannuation product 0.17% 1,3 And, indirect costs of $85 each year will be deducted from your investment. Equals Cost of product If your balance was $50,000, then for that year you will be charged fees of $376 2 for the superannuation product. 1 The ICR and investment fees shown above are indicative only and are based on the ICR and investment fee for this investment option for the year ended 30 June 2017, including several components which are estimates only. The actual amount you ll be charged in subsequent financial years will depend on the actual fees, costs and taxes incurred by the Trustee in managing the investment option. 2 Additional fees may also apply for example if you switch investment options or take out insurance cover. Please refer to Additional explanation of fees and costs on page 4 for further details. 3 The investment fees and ICRs for other investment options are set out on page 4, are calculated on the same basis, and paid at the same frequency and in the same manner as the Balanced investment option.

The actual amount you ll be charged in subsequent financial years will depend on the actual fees, costs and taxes incurred by the Trustee in managing the investment option. 2 Components may not add to Total due to rounding. 3 These amounts reflect the fees and costs which we have incurred in managing the Listed Property option, for example, fees and costs we incur in the course of investing in listed property securities i.e. real estate investment trusts (REITs) for that option. These figures do not include any amounts incurred by the REITs which the Listed Property option has invested in such as costs relating to any real property and the other business activities of those REITs. 4 From 1 July 2017, we anticipate future investment fees including an extra 0.15% per annum.

Fees and costs 5 PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES We don t directly deduct any performance-based fees from member accounts. However, some external investment managers may be entitled to receive performance-based fees if they generate strong investment returns. These are included in the investment fee and are indirectly borne by members invested in an option. To receive performance-based fees, a manager must generate returns which exceed an agreed benchmark (in some cases by a margin or hurdle), in which case the manager is entitled to receive a percentage of the excess returns. The amount that can be recouped by any particular manager in one year is generally capped, and fees in excess of the cap are carried forward into future years and can potentially be paid in future years, subject to generating adequate returns. If managers fail to generate excess returns in a year, this typically results in a negative amount being carried forward for future years to offset any performance-based fees which may otherwise become payable in future. Note that managers generally manage portfolios comprising assets which relate to multiple investment options. It s not possible to accurately predict the amount of performance-based fees that may be payable in respect of a particular investment option in the next financial year. This will depend on: the investment returns generated during the year ahead which managers generate excess returns within their portfolios whether there were negative amounts (or positive amounts) being carried forward for those managers the individual fee arrangements (if any) which had been negotiated with the relevant investment managers the size of the portfolios being managed by those managers, and the proportion of those portfolios which relate to the relevant investment option. The table on page 6 sets out the performance fees for each option. BORROWING COSTS UniSuper invested in interposed vehicles which incurred borrowing costs. The amount borne by particular investment options varied and those amounts are set out in the table on page 6. These borrowing costs are recovered from the revenues of the particular investment prior to the distribution of any earnings from the investment. Viewed this way, these costs are an additional cost to members in the same way that they are a cost for any investor in the investment. What s an interposed vehicle? An interposed vehicle is a complicated concept to define completely and accurately. The following illustrates, on a simplistic level, how an investor might invest in an interposed vehicle. An investor buys shares in a particular company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. In this case, the shares in that company are an investment in their own right. On the other hand, an investor could invest in another entity (Fund A) which, in turn, invests in that particular company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. In this case, Fund A will often be regarded as an interposed vehicle. When super funds disclose their fees and costs, they include fees and costs incurred by interposed vehicles. However, Fund A won t necessarily be an interposed vehicle if this was an investment in its own right and not a means of gaining exposure to the listed company. Determining whether an entity is an interposed vehicle involves three separate tests. For a detailed explanation, we recommend you refer to the latest version of ASIC Regulatory Guide 97 Disclosing fees and costs in PDSs and periodic statements as well as any guidance (including frequently asked questions) issued by ASIC in conjunction with Regulatory Guide 97. The Guide is available at www.asic.gov.au/regulatoryresources/find-a-document/regulatory-guides. TRANSACTIONAL AND OPERATIONAL COSTS Each investment option incurs transactional and operational costs to different extents. These typically include items such as: A brokerage A stamp duty settlement and clearing costs A bid/ask spreads (note that spreads pertaining to over-the-counter derivatives have already been factored into our investment fees and/or ICR) market impact, and property operating costs for options which invest in property-related interposed vehicles.

You can request a paper or electronic copy of updated information without charge. 1 The borrowing costs, transactional and operational costs, and performance-based fees shown above are indicative only and are based on the borrowing, transactional and operational costs, and performance-based fees for this investment option for the year ended 30 June 2017, including several components which are estimates only. The actual amount you ll incur in subsequent financial years will depend on the actual borrowing, transactional and operational costs, and performance-based fees incurred by the Trustee in managing the investment option. 2 Performance-based fees are already included in the investment fees and/or ICRs for each option. 3 These amounts reflect the fees and costs which we have incurred in managing the Listed Property option, for example, fees and costs we incur in the course of investing in listed property securities i.e. real estate investment trusts (REITs) for that option. These figures don t include any amounts incurred by the REITs which the Listed Property option has invested in such as costs relating to any real property and the other business activities of those REITs.

Fees and costs 7 OPERATIONAL RISK FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT Australian super funds are required to have an Operational Risk Financial Requirement (ORFR). This is required by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and is intended to ensure that super funds have access to financial resources to cover losses, costs and expenses that may be incurred in the event of an operational risk. This is funded out of investment-related charges which are included in the ICR for each investment option. This component of the ICR is currently 0.06% p.a. for each investment option. FEES FOR UNISUPER ADVICE Factual information and general advice is provided at no additional charge to UniSuper members. The cost of that service is included in the administration fees you pay. UniSuper Advice is a financial planning service generally available to UniSuper members, former members and their families through UniSuper Management Pty Ltd (USM) ABN 91 006 961 799 Australian Financial Services Licence No. 235907, which is licensed to provide financial advice services and deal in financial products. UniSuper Advice offers personal scaled advice on a few topics, or comprehensive personal advice. Personal scaled advice can cover topics like super contributions, investment options and insurance as they relate to your UniSuper account, as well as Flexi Pension set up. Comprehensive advice can help in areas including retirement planning, insurance, non-super investments and accumulating wealth. Members will receive an advice fee quote before UniSuper Advice proceeds with personal advice services. You ll be charged on a fee-for-service basis at either a fixed or hourly rate. The cost of the service provided varies depending on a number of factors, including the complexity of the advice sought. These fees are additional to the fees stated in this document and the product disclosure statement. You can learn more about the services UniSuper Advice provides by referring to the Financial Services Guide Personal Advice and Financial Services Guide General Advice, which are available at unisuper.com.au or by calling us. INSURANCE PREMIUMS See our Insurance in your super booklet for information on the premiums associated with your insurance cover. Applicable insurance premiums are deducted from your account each month. A fee for administering the insurance agreement is included in the premium cost. Alterations to fees Fees are generally increased on 1 July each year in line with increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the preceding 12 months ending 31 December. Fees may change without your consent. UniSuper reserves the right to introduce a new fee or change any fees. We will give you 30 days written notice (except in the case of annual indexation of fees) before a new or increased fee payable to UniSuper takes effect. TAX See the Product Disclosure Statement and the How super is taxed booklets for information on the tax applicable to your benefits. We ll provide you with a 15% refund for administration fees, switching fees and external insurance premiums paid where a tax deduction is available to us. The refunds for administration fees and external insurance premiums are credited to your account on a monthly basis. The refund for switching fees is credited to your account when those fees are deducted. GST AND STAMP DUTY Fees and costs may include GST and stamp duty where applicable. The amount of GST payable may be reduced in certain circumstances as a result of tax credits available to the Trustee. BANK FEES The Trustee reserves the right to recover any bank fees incurred on a cost recovery basis. Defined fees This section defines the different fees and costs that can be legally charged to your UniSuper account. Not all charges apply to your UniSuper account. ACTIVITY FEES Activity fees relate to costs incurred by UniSuper s Trustee if they are directly related to a Trustee activity: that is engaged in at the request, or with the consent, of a member; or A A that relates to a member and is required by law; and those costs are not otherwise charged as an administration fee, an investment fee, a buy-sell spread, a switching fee, an exit fee, an advice fee or an insurance fee. The only activity fees charged by UniSuper are external insurance premiums.

Note: A fee deducted from a member s account or paid out of UniSuper is not an indirect cost. ICRs are deducted indirectly from your UniSuper account.
