Returns on your super
An earning rate is the net investment return that applies to your account, after fees and tax, at the end of each financial year. It can be positive or negative, and is a reflection of how your investment performs.
In the table below, LGsuper publishes a daily indication of performance for each investment option as a daily movement percentage and a financial year to date percentage. These are based on the performance of appropriate market benchmarks from 2 business days earlier. If you make withdrawals or switch investment options we use these rates.
After the end of each month, earning rates are adjusted to reflect the actual investment returns achieved for that month (net of any tax and fees).
