Key performance drivers

Australian and international shares continued to be leading drivers of the Core Strategy’s performance across the year. Our investments in other asset classes such as property, agriculture and infrastructure also contributed to returns.

All figures as at 31 December 2021. Returns are net of investment fees and tax, except Pension which is untaxed. The earnings applied to members’ accounts may differ. Investment returns are at the investment option level and are reflected in the unit prices for those options. Returns for the ten year period are annualised returns. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
