Estimated Hostplus Superannuation Fund 30 June 2020 Investment Fees and Indirect Costs
The below table sets out indicative Investment Fees and Indirect Costs.
The Indirect Cost Ratio (ICR) and the Investment fee is based on the expenses incurred from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. As a result these figures are indicative only and may change in subsequent years depending on (for example) the performance of each option. These costs are deducted before the net investment return for each investment option are declared and applied to members’ accounts.
Please note; all fees and costs are inclusive of GST (unless otherwise stated) less any input tax credits and stamp duty (if applicable). The fund passes on any tax deduction on investment costs in the form of higher returns.
The performance based fee component comprises actual fees paid and estimates of fees to be paid for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.
