How we performed in 2008/09

We have prepared a special edition of our new online quarterly investment newsletter Review to let you know about our 2008/09 performance.

This newsletter covers what’s happened in the Australian and global economies, how the CSS performed during this time and an outline of our investment strategies.

As I am sure you are aware, investment returns have been very poor over this financial year. The impact of the global financial crisis on economies was almost unprecedented, however in 2009, both the global banking sector and the global economy appear to have stablised.

Although investment returns have been poor over the 2008/09 financial year, make sure you are aware of how fund investment performance actually affects your final benefit. For more information see How does the CSS work

To find out more about your CSS super account, see your annual member statement, which we will send out from October 2009.

At times like these, it is more important than ever to understand the range of investment options we offer and the impact of switching investment options will have on your final benefit
