When investing in a Rest investment option you’re buying units in that option. The value of your super, Rest Pension Transition to Retirement (TTR) or retirement account will change depending on the current sell price. Your account balance on the Rest App, MemberAccess and your member statement is shown as a dollar value and as a number of units.
The Core Strategy investment option was renamed “Growth” from 30 September 2024.
Unit Prices: The unit price reflects the value of each unit in an investment option. Unit prices are generally declared on a daily basis.
The published unit prices for Rest’s investment options are for transaction purposes (that is, when you buy/sell units in an investment option) except for published unit prices dated as at 30 June. Unit prices are based on the closing market prices from two previous working days. The two day period allows for the collection of relevant market data from Australian and international markets and the subsequent updating of asset valuations which are then incorporated into Rest’s daily unit prices.
The unit prices shown as at 30 June are not used for processing transactions. These non-transactional unit prices are used to calculate account balances in member statements and represents the valuation of the underlying assets as at that date.
Unit Pricing Guidelines: View the guidelines here.
When you switch or withdraw your benefits, the buy or sell price that is normally used is the latest buy or sell price that has been loaded onto the Rest administration system at the time when your transaction is processed. If there is a discrepancy between the unit prices on this website and what is on Rest's administration system, the unit prices on the Rest administration system will apply.
Unit prices for Rest Pension TTR accounts are now the same as Super unit prices. This reflects changes to tax rules from 1 July 2017 which require investment returns on TTR accounts to be taxed at 15% per annum. The unit prices for TTR prior to 1 July 2017 are the same as Pension unit prices.
The Bonds, Property, Diversified, Shares, Australian Shares and Overseas Shares investment options were removed on 2 November 2024.
