2012 Annual Report3
It is our pleasure to present the 2012 Annual Report of the Fund. It has been another year of achievement. We have continued to provide a high quality service to our membership and produced a top quartile investment performance this financial year.
Whilst the past year has been a difficult one with investment markets remaining volatile in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis and the European debt situation, LUCRF’s performance of 1.18% was very competitive.
Ratings agencies placed us in the top quartile among the leading super funds. We finished 12th in the SuperRatings SR50 Balanced table.
LUCRF’s Balanced (default) option finished ahead of the Top 50 Funds Median return of 0.45%, also above the Not for Profit Funds Median of 0.69%, and well ahead of the Retail Funds Median of negative 0.33%.
LUCRF Pensions returned 1.62% (higher return as pensions are tax exempt), again ahead of the industry median of 1.18% and well ahead of the Retail Funds median of negative 0.14%.
This year’s results again confirm the superior performance of Industry Funds when compared to Retail Funds.
Over the longer term, our three year rolling average of 6.00% and 7.28% for pensions has provided real growth for members in difficult times.
The Fund continues to grow steadily, with Superannuation Guarantee contributions (paid by the employer on behalf of members) increasing by approximately 19% over the last two years. Pension accounts have also grown steadily, with accounts and Funds Under Management up by around 30% in the 2011/12 financial year.
This year our Business Development Managers, Contact Centre Consultants and our Financial Planners have spoken to many thousands of members both face-to-face and over the phone. We have assisted members with planning for their retirement, maximising their super opportunities, and importantly, finding their lost super and combining multiple super accounts.
In the coming year, LUCRF will continue to work hard to provide advice and education to its members, and deliver competitive investment returns.
LUCRF is gearing up for the introduction of the MySuper regulatory changes and are on track to meet all regulatory requirements at an early date.
Assistance from LUCRF is only a phone call away. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help.

2012 Annual Report9
LUCRF member Daniel Naismith can attest to this. As a proud father of two boys - six and four - life in the Naismith home is never dull! But Daniel wouldn’t want it any other way.
“They are my greatest achievement to date,” Daniel says of his family.
On the weekends there’s nothing Daniel likes more than to take his four wheel drive out to the state forests of Victoria, around Bunyip and Murrindindi. He loves getting out into the fresh air and exploring all that the country has to offer.
For Daniel, having a successful career is just as important as creating a good home environment for his family.
A Production Line Operator at one of the country’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Aspen Australia, Daniel says it’s the problem solving side of his role that he loves most.
Aspen Australia produces a broad range of pharmaceuticals for brand names like Herron and Chemist’s Own.
Daniel has been with Aspen for more than two years and his role involves setting up the production and packaging machines, and ensuring they’re all running smoothly. The production plant at Dandenong in Victoria runs 24 hours a day. When we visited, Daniel was producing and packaging paracetamol tablets.
“I enjoy setting up the line, problem solving and helping others out. I’m pretty mechanically minded,”said Daniel.
When it comes to super, Daniel says he’s stayed with LUCRF over the years because it’s the philosophy of the Fund that he admires most.
It’s that same philosophy that Daniel lives by that has helped him make a success of his life.
While retirement is still a long way off for Daniel, his aim is to move to the country with his family one day and run a farm. “I’d love to buy a piece of land and get right into hobby farming,” Daniel said.
When it comes to creating a fulfilling life, a successful balance of family and career is important.
LUCRF Super cares about making a real difference to people’s lives.

A long-time LUCRF Super member, Anna enjoys being outdoors and spends most weekends in her beautiful garden at the foothills of the mountains.
An avid lover of all creatures great and small, Anna says her pets – a couple of spoiled cats (one who is 19 years old) and a friendly Belgium Shepherd dog – are great company.
Anna also enjoys spending time with her granddaughter, who she says brings her much happiness.
Whether it’s in the office, or at home in the garden, put simply, Anna loves to work. While retirement is not something that’s front of mind for her right now, Anna has taken steps to plan for her future.
A super and pension member, Anna says she enjoys the benefits a transition to retirement pension arrangement gives her.
Anna identifies working hard as the key to her success. A loyal member of the team at Corex Plastics, Anna likes to be busy and says that every day at Corex is different.
“I love my job. I take on a lot, but I enjoy the challenge,” said Anna.
Anna has been with the company for 23 years and back then there were just 16 employees. Corex now employs more than 160 staff. “It’s a family business and the people are great,” said Anna.
A woman who thrives on hard work; Anna went back to study at night school to gain her accounting accreditation and it’s allowed her to progress through the company over the years.
“It was really hard work, but it’s something I’m very proud of,” said Anna.
Anna has been a LUCRF Super member for more than 21 years and says she wouldn’t change a thing.
“I wouldn’t think of any other super fund. LUCRF’s history of strong returns and low fees mean my super is working hard,” said Anna.
Keen gardener, animal lover and accountant – Anna Farrell says working hard and enjoying life is the key to her success.
I’m saving on tax and at the same time growing my super, while I’m still working.
2012 Annual Report13
Tom Ota has been a member of LUCRF Super for nearly 28 years, almost since the time of the Fund’s inception.
Having entered retirement two years ago, Tom is enjoying the freedom his super gives him. He loves nothing more than pottering around the house, but it’s in the garden where his real passion lies.
For Tom and his wife, their home is a beautiful terrace house in the inner city, and it is there that he is engrossed in what he is growing in their garden.
Tom’s wife still goes out to work and Tom says that he too “wouldn’t mind picking up some part-time work to keep busy.”
For Tom, it’s his children that make him most proud and who he describes as his highest achievement in life. “My greatest success is having a happy family,” said Tom.
He says it’s heartening to know everything has turned out okay for his two grown up children.
My retirement is going well, thanks to LUCRF.
For this LUCRF Pension member, a successful retirement means having the freedom to choose his own path.

The research paper, “A comparison of long term superannuation investment performance – Update 2012” looks at the performance of industry and retail super funds over the past 15 years.
Produced by the Industry Super Network (ISN), the paper shows that on average, retail super funds have underperformed not-for-profit funds (public sector, corporate and industry funds) by more than 2% p.a. over the past 15 years (1996–2011).
Average retail super fund returns were also lower, returning 3.84% per annum after tax and costs, and fell short of annual term deposits over the same period. LUCRF Super’s Balanced (default) option, meanwhile, returned an average 6.90% p.a. over the 1996-2011 period.
The retail super sector is the largest segment of APRA-regulated superannuation funds, with $367 billion or 45% of assets under management (as at June 2011).
Therefore, each year of underperformance by retail super funds costs Australians billions of dollars. The research found that over the fifteen year period, if retail super funds had earned industry super fund returns, Australian retirement savings would currently be $75 billion higher.
While all super funds have been affected by market volatility in recent years, industry super fund investments have been more stable than local and foreign equity markets, due to their broad diversification, particularly with investments in asset classes such as unlisted property and infrastructure.
On average, industry super fund performance has been superior to that of retail super funds throughout the period before, during and after the Global Financial Crisis.
Past investment performance is not a reliable indicator of future investment returns. Source: A comparison of long term superannuation investment performance – Update 2012.

2012 Annual Report16
Australia:Despite global economic growth concerns, Australian economic indicators for the year to 30 June 2012 were positive as the Australian economy continued to grow with gross domestic product (GDP) increasing by 3.6%1 for the year to March 2012 and unemployment levels remaining low at 5.1%2 in May 2012, up 0.1% from the same period last year. Inflation, as measured by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was low at 1.6%3 for the year to March 2012, comfortably below with the 2.9%4 rise in CPI for the 12 months to March 2011.
Overall the Australian share market (as measured by the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index) suffered its worst loss since the 2008/09 financial year, underperforming both Wall Street and London’s FTSE 100 equities index with a return of -7.0%5. Volatility was elevated during the past 12 months, with significant swings in return occurring over short time periods as markets reacted to negative macroeconomic developments both locally and overseas. Key contributors to this negative performance were the still high Australian dollar (despite a decline over the year versus most major developed currencies except the Euro), a weak retail sector and a fall in commodity prices due to concerns of slowing demand in China.
The best performing Australian equity sector for the year was the Telecom sector, returning 38.3% over the year, while the worst performing sector was Materials, which fell 28.1% over the year6.
Australian unlisted property performed strongly throughout the financial year, as investors gravitated towards quality yield-generating assets. Despite the weak economic environment, especially within the Retail sector, vacancy rates remained relatively low with rental income providing the majority of performance. The Australian listed property market, as measured by the S&P/ASX300 Property Accumulation Index, returned 11.0% for the year, compared to the last financial year when the Index returned 5.9%. The Australian unlisted property market, as measured by the Mercer/IPD Australian Property Pooled Fund Index, returned 9.5% for the financial year.
Investments2011/12 Annual Economic & Market SummaryPrepared by
2012 Annual Report17
Global:Significant volatility was once again prevalent in global financial markets for the 2011/2012 financial year, with concerns surrounding a hard-landing in China, sovereign debt issues in the Eurozone and the fragility of the US economic recovery driving this situation. Concerns surrounding the level of sovereign debt in Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain (the Eurozone’s fourth largest economy) also continued to intensify. Fears of a double-dip recession in the United States re-emerged early in the financial year due to political brinkmanship around reduction of sovereign debt and Standard & Poor’s downgraded its credit rating of the US from AAA to AA+. However, since the downgrade, US economic data has been mildly positive, on the back of the Federal Reserve’s policy of retaining near zero cash rates plus a variety of fiscal stimulus measures put in place.
Against this backdrop, global share markets performed poorly for the year, finishing the year behind by -2.1%7 in local currency terms, as measured by the MSCI World ex Australia Index. When measured in unhedged Australian dollar terms, this return was -0.5%8, reflecting the weakening of the Australian dollar over the past 12 months.
Global Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) flourished in the year’s global macroeconomic environment of low growth and low interest rates, returning 6.1% (in unhedged $A) as measured by Global REIT indices. With bond yields falling to record lows, investors were searching for yield and quality so interest in this asset class remained high.
Cash and Fixed Interest:Australian bonds performed very strongly for the year to 30 June 2012, returning 12.4%9 for the year as measured by the UBSA Composite (All maturities) Bond Index, as investors sought the relative safety offered by investment grade and particularly Government bonds. The Australian 90 Day Bank Bill Index returned 4.7% for the year, while the UBSA Composite Bond Index (All Maturities) returned 12.4% for the year. Global fixed interest, as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (hedged to A$) returned 11.6%, underperforming the Australian fixed interest market. Official cash rates were reduced four times throughout the year by the Reserve Bank of Australia from 4.75% to 3.5%. This reflected the weaker than expected global economic conditions as well as a moderation in domestic inflation pressures throughout the later parts of the financial year.

The Balanced (default) optionLUCRF’s Balanced (default) investment option has a diversified mix of both growth and defensive asset classes.
This option provides a broad range of investments. It is designed to offer both growth and protection over the long-term.
Since the Fund’s inception, our Balanced option has produced an average annual return to members of 9.75% (1978 to 2012).
Whilst past performance is not a reliable indicator of future investment returns, our history over more than 30 years show that despite investment markets moving up and down, our Balanced option has provided members with a healthy return over the long-term.

#The investment fee is a measure of the fees deducted from investments. These fees include the cost of the Fund’s investment managers, custodian and investment advisor and certain other costs of the Fund. The investment fee is the total of these costs, divided by the net asset value of the Fund. These fees are deducted directly from the investment earnings before they are allocated to member accounts. They are therefore not deducted from your super account directly.

Financial StatementsAnd other informationEnquiries and complaintsEnquiries and complaints can be made in a variety of ways (e.g. in a letter, by email, by telephone or in person). Any written complaint should be addressed to:
The Complaints Officer LUCRF Super PO Box 211 North Melbourne Vic 3051 Email: [email protected]
Complaints can be made by a Fund member, a previous member, a non-member spouse (re: Family Law split agreement), or from a (beneficiary/ies) or legal personal representative of a deceased member. Responses from the Fund will be dealt with promptly and certainly within 90 days as required by legislation.
If you are not satisfied with our response or handling of a complaint, you may be entitled to lodge a complaint with the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal (SCT), which is a free service.
Superannuation Complaints Tribunal Locked Bag 3060, Melbourne VIC 3001 Telephone: 1300 884 114 Website: www.sct.gov.au
If your complaint is outside the jurisdiction of the SCT and you are not satisfied with the handling of your complaint, or you have not received a response within 90 days, you may be able to take your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which is also a free service.
Financial Ombudsman Service GPO Box 3, Melbourne VIC 3001 Telephone: 1300 780 808 Website: www.fos.org.au
The Australian Securities and Investment Service (ASIC) also has an infoline on 1300 300 630 which you may use to make a complaint and obtain information about your rights.
Government supervisionLUCRF Pty Ltd is the Trustee of the Labour Union Co-operative Retirement Fund (LUCRF Super) and complies with the requirements of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, the Corporations Act 2001 and other relevant legislation.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has approved LUCRF Pty Ltd as the holder of a Registrable Superannuation Entity Licence (L0002981) and LUCRF Super as a Registrable Superannuation Entity (R1067521).
An Australian Financial Services Licence was granted to LUCRF Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 258481) by the Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC), which enables personal and general superannuation advice to be provided. The Trustee is also approved to operate a non-cash payment facility (clearing house).
Identity fraudYou may have heard of identity fraud. It is when someone steals (or tricks you into providing) your personal details to commit financial fraud. While this seems to mainly occur with bank accounts (where certain undesirable people will use your personal details to access your accounts via phone, internet or writing bad cheques), your super could also be a target.
Visit the ASIC MoneySmart website at www.moneysmart.gov.au for useful superannuation information and scam updates.
2012 Annual Report27
Reserves policyThe Trustee maintains three reserves. This makes no difference to the fees or charges you pay as a member of LUCRF Super.
Trustee ReserveThe difference between fees charged to members and the administration and investment expenses incurred in the management of the Fund, are credited to the Trustee Reserve. This reserve is maintained to supplement funds required to meet future Trustee expenses.
Capital Adequacy ReserveThe after-tax value of any insurance rebate received, and tax benefit received in the payment of insurance premiums, are both credited to this reserve.
Earnings at the cash rate on reserve balances and on assets that support unpaid liabilities that cannot be directly referable to a member investment choice, are also credited to this reserve. It is maintained to meet additional significant expenses of LUCRF Super and LUCRF Pensions.
Operational Risk ReserveThis reserve is funded through rounding of the crediting rate process. It is maintained to meet unfunded liabilities as they arise during the administration and operation of the Fund.
Contribution arrears – what we doLegislation requires employers to pay contributions by certain due dates. When an employer fails to do this, (once aware), the Fund endeavours to resolve these situations within a reasonable period.
The Fund identifies and follows up overdue contributions in writing (letter and email), via phone calls or may also perform site visits to advise employers of arrears.
Indemnity insuranceThe Fund has taken out insurance to indemnify the Directors and legally responsible officers from loss resulting from any claim or wrongful act by the Trustee or any other party. The Directors are not indemnified against penalties or fine imposed by law as a result of negligence or dishonest conduct.
Transfer of benefits to an Eligible Rollover Fund (ERF)If no contributions have been received by LUCRF Super for over 12 months and a member account is below $500, the Trustee may elect to roll over the benefit to an ERF.
An ERF is a fund that can receive benefits from other superannuation funds for members who cannot be contacted or who do not respond to letters regarding payment of their benefits.
If a benefit is transferred to an ERF, any insurance cover will cease and all rights of membership of LUCRF Super cease. An ERF is not generally considered a suitable long-term investment vehicle for super.
The ERF nominated by the Trustee is called Australia’s Unclaimed Super Fund (AUSfund). If you need to contact AUSfund, call 1300 361 798 or write to:
AUSfund PO Box 2468, Kent Town SA 5071 Website: www.unclaimedsuper.com.au
Unclaimed moneyThe Trustee of LUCRF Super is required to transfer your entire benefit to the ATO as unclaimed money in certain circumstances. This will occur within four months of the end of each half-calendar year if:
• You reach the eligibility age of 65 years, your account has been inactive for two years or more and we have not had contact with you for five years; or
• You have died and the Trustee is unable to locate a beneficiary in order to pay your benefit (after reasonable endeavour); or
• You were in Australia as a temporary resident and you have not claimed your benefit after six months from your visa expiry or cancellation date; or
• You are a lost member of the Fund (because two items of mail we sent to you have been returned and undelivered) and:
• The balance of your account is below $200, or
• We have not received any contributions for you within five years and it will not be possible to pay a benefit to you in the future.
Note: The Trustee relies on ASIC relief to the effect that it is not obligated to issue an exit statement to departed former temporary residents when a benefit is transferred to the ATO, however the information can be obtained upon request.
