Fees

You will be charged fees for investing in the Scheme. Fees are deducted from your investment and reduce your returns.

Annual fund charges: 

Fund name Annual fund charges (% p.a. of the value of your investment)
Summer New Zealand Cash 0.50%
Summer New Zealand Fixed Interest 0.75%
Summer Global Fixed Interest 0.75%
Summer New Zealand Equities 0.90%
Summer Australian Equities 0.90%
Summer Listed Property 0.90%
Summer Global Equities 0.90%
Summer Conservative Selection 0.75%
Summer Balanced Selection 0.90%
Summer Growth Selection 0.90%

The annual fund charge is calculated daily for each fund and reflected in the value of your investment.

We also charge an account fee of $3 per member per month.

All fees and charges exclude GST (which we do not currently apply to these fees and charges).

We charge these fees to cover the management and administration costs of the Scheme. This includes expenses we incur in managing the scheme, for example legal, marketing, audit and accounting and any fees charged by the Supervisor, Custodian or our investment manager. It also includes any commission or other amounts paid to financial advice providers associated with a member’s account.  

For more information and an example of how these are applied, please see section 5 "What are the fees?" of the product disclosure statement.

 

Making changes:

There are no charges for making changes to your account including switching between funds.

At any time you can without cost:

  • switch your existing investments between different funds
  • change the funds that your future contributions will be invested in (without switching your existing investments)

or do both.
