2. How super works

About super Superannuation is money you save throughout your working life for your retirement. So even though it may be a while before you can access it, understanding your super early will give you greater control and the confidence to make the best financial choices for you.

You’re already saving for your retirement thanks to the compulsory Superannuation Guarantee (SG) – the 9.5% of your ordinary time earnings your employer is required to contribute into your super account.

Choosing your fundMost people can choose which super fund they’d like their SG contributions paid into. Sometimes your conditions of

employment will decide which fund. If you don’t have a choice, or you don’t tell your employer which fund you’d like your super to go into, it will be paid into a ‘default fund’.

Making contributions Super is a tax-effective way to save for your future thanks to tax concessions provided by the government.

* Awards and ratings are only one factor you should consider when making decisions on your super. For further information about the methodology used by Chant West, see chantwest.com.au

Any financial product advice given by Money Solutions is provided under the Money Solutions AFSL. The Trustee does not accept liability for any loss or damage incurred by any person as a result of using products or services provided by Money Solutions.

You can boost your super even further in addition to the SG by:• asking your employer to deduct extra

money from your pay before tax is taken out and paying it into your super. This is called ‘salary sacrifice’ and may reduce the amount of tax you pay.

• putting money you have saved (after tax) into your Acumen account. By making an after-tax personal contribution, you may be eligible for a government co-contribution.

There’s no limit on how much super you can accumulate over your lifetime, but there are limits on how much you can contribute each financial year and still receive a tax concession.

Consolidate your superYou can also help your retirement savings grow by transferring super you have from another fund into your Acumen account, and save on paying multiple fees.

You should consider the impact that consolidating your super may have on any insurance or benefit entitlements you have in your other fund(s) and seek advice from a licensed financial adviser if you have any questions.

Accessing your superGenerally, there’s no limit on how much you can withdraw from your super, but you usually can’t access your super until you retire permanently from the workforce after reaching your ‘preservation age’.

The Acumen Member Guide available at acumensuper.com.au/pds has further information about your preservation age. You have unrestricted access to your super from age 65, but there may be special circumstances where you can withdraw it earlier.

You should read the important information about how super works before making a decision. Go to the ‘Acumen Member Guide’ available in MemberAccess at acumensuper.com.au/pds The material relating to how super works may change between the time when you read this Statement and the day when you acquire the product.

4. Risks of superAll investments have some level of risk. Super funds generally invest in a range of asset classes – for example, cash, bonds, property and shares – that have different levels of risk. The likely investment return, and the risk of a negative return, is different for each investment option depending on the underlying mix of assets in that investment option. Assets with the highest potential return over the longer-term (such as shares), may also carry the highest level of short-term risk. Acumen offers 13 different investment options with different levels of risk.When considering your investment in super, it is important to understand that:• the value of investment options can go up and down• future returns may differ from past returns• returns are not guaranteed, will vary, and you may lose

some of your money• superannuation, social security and tax laws may change

in the future• the amount of your future super savings (including

contributions and returns) may not be enough to adequately provide for your retirement.

The appropriate level of risk for you will vary depending on a range of factors including your age, investment time frame, where your other assets are invested and how comfortable you are with the possibility of a negative return in some years.Other significant risks include:• market risk – investment returns may be affected by

economic conditions, government regulations, market sentiment, international events and other factors

• company specific risk – an investment in a specific company may be affected by changes to the company such as loss of a big customer, changes in management and other internal and external factors

• currency risk – investments in international assets may be negatively affected by currency fluctuations

• interest rate risk – changes in interest rates in Australia and overseas can have a direct or indirect impact upon the value and return of all types of assets

• liquidity risk – from time to time some investments may not be easily converted to cash due to abnormal or difficult market conditions.

Acumen offers 13 investment options, each with a different level of risk and potential return. The Core Strategy for example is designed for members looking for a balance between risk and return, with a wide asset allocation range.

You must consider the likely investment return, risk and your investment time frame when choosing an investment option.

You can choose one option or a combination of different options to create your own portfolio. As Acumen is a choice product, you must choose an investment option. There is no default investment option in Acumen.

5. How we invest your money

Acumen Product Disclosure Statement | 5

You can switch investment options at any time, or ask that future contributions be paid into a different option. You can switch investment options online in MemberAccess, or by completing an ‘Application to make an investment choice’ form and returning it to REST. For details of the effective unit price, please refer to rest.com.au/investments

Acumen’s investments are managed by investment managers appointed by the Trustee. The Trustee recognises that sustainability factors (which include but are not limited to environmental, social and governance factors) and risks may have a material influence on the investment returns over the long term. As a result, the Trustee adopts strategies and appoints investment managers that are considered to be consistent with delivering the Fund’s stated investment objectives, as a long-term investor on behalf of its members.

You can choose one option or a combination of different options to create your own portfolio. As Acumen is a choice product, you must choose an investment option. There is no default investment option in Acumen.

The Core Strategy investment option is designed for members looking for a balance between risk and return, with a wide asset allocation range. The Core Strategy has an exposure to the Australian shares asset class which may include companies listed in Australia whose legal domicile is overseas. In addition, up to 10% of this asset class may be invested in stocks listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.^ Core Strategy returns are based on unit pricing from 1 January 2013 onwards. A crediting rate was used prior to that date.1 This is what the Trustee uses to determine asset allocation. It is also used to measure if the investment objective is met. It is not a guaranteed

rate of return. REST does not use the Return Target (shown in the Product Dashboard) to set the investment return objective.2 For the Core Strategy option, the asset allocation will vary year to year within the ranges shown in brackets. This also means the allocation

to defensive assets and growth assets will vary from time to time. The Trustee reserves the right to vary the asset allocations, including the benchmarks and ranges, of all or any of the investment options, introduce new options or close existing options without prior notice (where permitted by law).

3 More information about risk band and level and Standard Risk Measure can be found in the ‘Investment Guide’ available at acumensuper.com.au.

4 Returns are quoted at 30 June each year after fees not directly charged to your account and taxes have been deducted. The returns stated are correct as at 30 June 2015.

Consumer Advisory Warning

DID YOU KNOW?Small differences in both investment performance, and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns.For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30-year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000). You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. Your employer may be able to negotiate to pay lower administration fees where applicable. Ask the fund or your financial adviser.TO FIND OUT MOREIf you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) website (moneysmart.gov.au) has a superannuation fee calculator to help you check out different fee options.

The Consumer Advisory Warning is a government prescribed warning. Lower administration fees cannot be negotiated with Acumen. The calculator on the ASIC website at moneysmart.gov.au can be used to calculate the effect of fees and costs on your super account balance.

7. How super is taxedThere are a number of ways super is taxed. As the tax treatment of super is complex and may change from time to time, we recommend you seek advice from a financial adviser such as Money Solutions or your accountant or tax agent.

You should provide us with your tax file number (TFN), otherwise a higher tax rate will apply to your contributions or when you later access your benefit.

Also, if you don’t provide your TFN: • we can’t accept any personal contributions to your account • it will be harder for us to find any of your lost super, so you

might not receive all your super benefits when you retire.

The following tax rules generally apply to super. If your before or after-tax contribution exceeds the contribution caps, you will pay extra tax.

• Acumen will pay the tax applying to your account directly to the (ATO).

• Contributions from your before-tax salary are taxed at 15%.• Contributions from your after-tax salary are not taxed.• Investment earnings are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. • Withdrawals from your account may be taxed if you are

aged less than 60. Once you turn 60, you can withdraw your super tax-free.

For information about how tax applies to super contributions, investment earnings and withdrawals go to ato.gov.au/super

You should read the important information about how super is taxed before making a decision. Go to the Acumen Member Guide available in MemberAccess at acumensuper.com.au/pds The material relating to how super is taxed may change between the time you read this Statement and the day when you acquire the product.

8. Insurance in your super

When you join Acumen, your employer may have elected to have insurance cover automatically provided to you. The type and level of cover depends on what your employer has organised for you. The amount of automatic cover (if any) and the formula used to calculate this cover and premiums can be found in MemberAccess. To log into MemberAccess visit acumensuper.com.au/pds and follow the prompts. Insurance premiums are deducted from your Acumen account for this cover.

The types of cover available to Acumen members are:

• Death Only or Death and Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) cover, and/or

• Income Protection cover.

If your proposed cover exceeds the automatic acceptance level for your sub-plan, you join outside eligibility requirements, or you wish to apply for voluntary cover (if available under your sub-plan), you will be required to provide evidence of your health satisfactory to the insurer.

The insurance premium for your cover depends on the amount of cover offered by your employer, any additional cover you request, your age, gender, occupation and, in the case of Income Protection cover, your salary, the waiting period and benefit period under your sub-plan. Monthly insurance premiums deducted from your account could vary from $0 to $1,667 for Death cover, Death and TPD cover and Income Protection cover, depending on your level of cover and other details listed above.

The maximum insurance cover available is $5,000,000 for Death cover, $2,000,000 for TPD cover, and $20,000 per month for Income Protection cover. Cover generally ceases at age 65 (depending on your sub-plan).

Insurance cover available, the cost of cover, level of cover, and the ability to change and/or cancel your cover, varies between sub-plans. Please refer to the Member Guide available in MemberAccess at acumensuper.com.au for information on your sub-plan.

Please note that unless you cancel your cover, insurance premiums will be deducted from your Acumen account (unless paid by your employer).

Entitlement to insurance cover may be affected by the terms relating to eligibility for cover, cancelling insurance cover and the applicable conditions and exclusions of Acumen’s insurance cover.

If you make an insurance claim, we and the insurer will determine whether you are entitled to be paid an insurance benefit based on the terms of the relevant policy, the trust deed rules and the law.

You should read the important information about insurance cover, the premiums and eligibility for cover, before making a decision. Go to the ‘Acumen Member Guide’ available in MemberAccess at acumensuper.com.au The material relating to insurance in your super may change between the time when you read this Statement and the day when you acquire the product.

Cooling-off period Cooling-off rights do not apply to employee members. However, an employer can change their mind about the product, and has 14 days to check whether the Fund meets their needs and cancel their application during this time. The employer then has one month to nominate a complying fund into which amounts are to be transferred. The amount we refund or transfer may be less than the amount originally invested. Cooling-off rights cannot be exercised if the employer has exercised any rights in relation to the Fund. Any insurance claim made during this time will be null and void.

Section 3: Direct debit request service agreement

1. Why an agreement? Through this direct debit request you are allowing us to debit amounts from your bank* account on a monthly basis.

2. If Acumen wants to change this agreement, we will notify you at least 14 days before making any changes. Please contact Acumen Customer Service 1300 305 779 if you want to make an enquiry or would like to:

• change your direct debit – advise us in writing at least three business days before the date we debit your bank account• cancel your direct debit request – advise us in writing at least three business days before the date we debit your bank

3. We will always try to debit your account on the 20th of each month, except when that date falls on a weekend or public holiday. In this case we will debit your account on the next business day.

4. You should make sure that you always have enough cleared funds in your bank account for us to debit your account.

• your bank account accepts direct debiting as some accounts do not, and• the bank account number you give us is correct (refer to your bank statement or contact your bank if necessary).

Section 4: TFN collection statement

Under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, your superannuation fund is authorised to collect your TFN, which will only be used for lawful purposes. These purposes may change in the future as a result of legislative change. The Trustee may disclose your TFN to another superannuation provider when your benefits are being transferred, unless you request the Trustee in writing that your TFN not be disclosed to any other superannuation provider. The Trustee with your consent may use your TFN to locate amounts held for you in different superannuation accounts you have with Acumen or to consolidate any superannuation accounts you have with other superannuation providers. The Trustee with your consent may disclose your TFN to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and to those superannuation providers identified by the ATO that may hold superannuation benefits in respect of you and to those superannuation providers nominated by you in order to:

• receive results of any searches of the ATO’s super records;• receive payment of any amount identified through the search process;• transfer such amounts to your Acumen account; and• otherwise assist in consolidating your superannuation accounts.

It is not an offence not to quote your TFN. However, giving your TFN to your superannuation fund will have the following advantages (which may not otherwise apply):

• your superannuation fund will be able to accept all types of contributions to your account(s);• the tax on employer contributions to your superannuation account(s) will not increase;• other than the tax that may ordinarily apply, no additional tax will be deducted when you start drawing down your

superannuation benefits; and• it will make it much easier to trace different superannuation accounts in your name so that you receive all your

superannuation benefits when you retire.

Note, if you do not give the Trustee your TFN either now or later:

• the fund will not be able to accept personal contributions and contributions your spouse makes for you, this also means you may miss out on super co-contributions;

• contributions an employer makes for you, including salary sacrifice contributions will be taxed at a higher rate; and• tax will be withheld from cash withdrawals at a higher rate.

Date (dd/mm/yyyy)*➲ ■■ ■■ ■■■■What happens if I do not quote my Tax File Number (TFN)?

You are not obligated to provide your TFN to your super fund. However, if you do not provide your TFN, your super fund may be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate plus the Medicare levy on contributions made to your account in the year, compared to the concessional tax rate of 15%. Your fund may deduct this additional tax from your account.

If your super fund does not have your TFN, you will not be able to make personal contributions to your super account. Choosing to quote your TFN will also make it easier to keep track of your super in the future.

Under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, your super fund is authorised to collect your TFN, which will only be used for lawful purposes. These purposes may change in the future as a result of legislative change. The TFN may be disclosed to another super provider when your benefits are being transferred, unless you request in writing that your TFN is not to be disclosed to any other trustee.

Important information

These instructions only relate to completing this form to transfer into REST. By completing this form, you will initiate a rollover request to transfer the whole balance of your super benefits between funds. This transfer may close your account and may affect any insurance arrangements you have with your FROM fund (you will need to check this with your FROM fund).

This form can NOT be used to:

• Transfer part of the balance of your super benefits• Transfer benefits if you don’t know where your super is• Transfer benefits from multiple funds on this one form

– a separate form must be completed for each fund you wish to transfer super from

• Change the fund to which your employer pays contributions on your behalf

• Open a super account• Transfer benefits under certain conditions or circumstances,

for example if there is a super agreement under the Family Law Act 1975 in place.

What happens to my future employer contributions?

Using this form to transfer your benefits will not change the fund to which your employer pays your contributions and may close the account you are transferring your benefits FROM.

If you wish to change the fund into which your contributions are being paid, you will need to speak to your employer about your choice of fund. For the appropriate forms and information about whether you are eligible to choose the fund to which your employer contributions are made, visit superchoice.gov.au or call the ATO on 13 10 20.

Things you need to consider when transferring your super

When you transfer your super, your entitlements under that fund may cease. You need to consider all the relevant information before you make a decision to transfer your super. If you ask for information, your super provider must give it to you. Some of the points you may consider are:

• Fees – your FROM fund must give you information about any exit or withdrawal fees. If you are not aware of the fees that may apply, you should contact your fund for further information before completing this form. The fees could include administration fees as well as exit or withdrawal fees. Your TO fund may also charge entry or deposit fees on transfer. Differences in fees funds charge can have a significant effect on what you will have to retire on. For example, a 1% increase in fees may significantly reduce your final benefit.

• Death and disability benefits – your FROM fund may insure you against death, illness or an accident which leaves you unable to return to work. If you choose to leave your current fund, you may lose any insurance entitlements you have. Other funds may not offer insurance, or may require you to pass a medical examination before they cover you. When considering a new fund, you may wish to check the costs and amount of any cover offered.
