CPIPLUS

More certainty over your returns in retirement.


CPIplus is a low-risk pension investment option that aims to deliver a predetermined return above the  consumer price index (CPI) each year. That means more certainty over your returns in retirement.

Introducing CPIplus

CPIplus is an innovative pension investment option that aims to give you long-term returns that are more consistent and less volatile than growth assets such as shares.

At the same time, CPIplus seeks to provide generally higher returns than defensive assets such as cash or fixed interest.

Returns from CPIplus are set in advance at a certain percentage above the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For the financial year 2024 – 2025, we've set the return at CPI plus 2.5%. The return formula is not affected by the performance of the underlying investments, and you will not receive a negative return.

In addition, CPIplus is designed to provide you with flexibility and liquidity. It's simple to access your funds, and you can easily switch investment options as your needs change. 

Watch Hostplus Financial Planner Bahar McLeod explain the ins and outs of CPIplus.
