Returns are after investment fees and costs, transaction costs and investment taxes, but before administration fees.  The High Growth option has identical investments to the High Growth Pool in the Lifecycle Investment Strategy. Individual returns may vary.  The High Growth option commenced on 28 February 2022 and adopted the investment strategy of the pre-merger Sunsuper Growth option. To show the returns for the High Growth option, we have used returns for the Sunsuper option up to this date.
