Investment returns vary month-by-month and the investment return on your account(s) will depend on the investment mix of your chosen option(s) and the timing of cash flows into and out of your account(s).
Monthly returns are listed for our Accumulation Plan, Beneficiary Account, Working Income Stream, and Retirement Income Stream products.
ESSSuper publishes monthly returns (which can be positive or negative) based on the change in unit prices of each investment option at the end of each month. Investment returns are calculated after deducting any tax on investments, investment management fees, and other fees and costs. Returns are published by the close of business within five Victorian business days following end of the month.
The tables below show the declared monthly returns for the current financial year to date, past 12 months, and previous financial year.
