Average annual return to June 30 of selected financial year ranges 1, 3, 5 or 10. Returns are net of investment fees and costs, transaction costs and taxes. Rounding has been applied to the graph to the nearest dollar. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Returns and unit prices on the effective date selected show valuations of assets at least 2 days prior. For example, selecting an effective date of 2 July 2022 will display the actual performance and pricing on 30 June 2022. Returns are presented daily as of 23 October 2021.
Financial year-to-date performance
Subject to investment market movements, returns for the full financial year may be higher or lower than the returns for the financial year-to-date period.
Historical investment performance
In the long term, one of the most significant factors affecting your retirement benefit will be the investment performance after costs, fees and taxes are deducted. When you're looking at a super fund you should check what sort of performance the fund has achieved and whether you have a choice of investment options.
You should also examine the investment objectives of the fund or investment option you will be investing in, both to assess the level of risk involved and to establish whether they have been meeting their goals. However, remember that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Unit prices
As of 23 October 2021, returns and unit prices are presented daily.
Unit prices are calculated at the close of business every business day* and applied to accounts three business days later on a continuous daily cycle.
*Weekends and weekdays that fall on a National public holiday and the King’s birthday (VIC/NSW) when the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) is closed are non-business days.

Initial change to unit pricing
HESTA changed from crediting rates to unit pricing in December 2016.
Investment performance figures for the week 30 November – 6 December 2016 is a combination of a crediting rate and unit prices that applied over that period.
Prior to the week 30 November – 6 December 2016, investment performance figures are the historical crediting rates. There are no unit prices for these prior periods.
