2 Supplementary PDS ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account – Members
This section shows fees and other costs that you may be charged.
These fees and other costs may be deducted from the Cash
Balance within your Account (‘Cash Balance’) or from the returns
on the managed investments in your portfolio (for investments in
Separately Managed Accounts – Funds (SMA – Funds)) or profile
(for investments in Managed Profiles).
Taxation information is provided under the heading ‘Tax features’
on page 31 of the PDS. Insurance costs are set out under the
heading of ’Protecting your future with ASGARD insurance’ on
pages 43 to 49 of the PDS.
You should read all of the information about fees and other
costs, because it is important to understand their impact on
your investment.
Fees and costs for particular investment options in SMA – Funds
are set out on page 5 of this SPDS and for Managed Profiles the
fees and costs are set out in PART 2 of the PDS.
The fees and other costs shown do not take into account any
income tax benefit (if applicable), but do include a net GST cost
recovery (after reduced input tax credits) of 2.5%.
Fees and other costs
DID YOU KNOW?Small differences in both investment performance and fees and
costs can have a substantial impact on your long term returns.
For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your
Account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final
return by up to 20% over a 30 year period
(for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000).
You should consider whether features such as superior
investment performance or the provision of better member
services justify higher fees and costs.
You may be able to negotiate to pay lower Contribution fees
and Management Costs where applicable.Ask us or your
financial adviser.
TO FIND OUT MOREIf you would like to find out more, or see the impact of fees
based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission (ASIC) website
(www.fido.asic.gov.au) has a superannuation calculator to help
you check out different fee options.

Additional explanation of fees and other costs
Supplementary PDS ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account – Members 7
Adviser remuneration
You and your financial adviser must agree on the adviser
remuneration that your financial adviser is entitled to receive.
Contribution fees
Our fee structure provides you and your financial adviser with
flexibility when determining the Contribution fee that will apply
to deposits to your Account. If your financial adviser agrees to
rebate part, or all, of their Contribution fee remuneration, this will
reduce the Contribution fee you pay accordingly. Any
Contribution fee agreed will be paid to your financial adviser.
If you do not have a financial adviser, the amount of the fee is not
negotiable and the maximum fee (5.125%) is payable by you and
retained by us.
Administration fee
You may agree that your financial adviser should receive either
standard adviser remuneration or non-standard adviser
remuneration (as explained below).
Adviser remuneration - Standard
We pay 25% of the standard monthly Administration fee to your
financial adviser as standard monthly adviser remuneration and
retain the other 75%.
Adviser remuneration - Non Standard
If your financial adviser agrees with you to receive more (or less)
than the standard 25%, the Administration fee can be increased
(or rebated) accordingly.You can choose to vary the
remuneration paid to your financial adviser in one of three ways
(payable monthly from your Cash Balance):
• replace the standard monthly adviser remuneration (25%) with a
specified flat percentage per annum of your total Account balance
• replace the standard monthly adviser remuneration with a flat
dollar amount which you can agree to increase annually in line
with the Consumer Price Index
• increase the Administration fee by a specified percentage,
with the extra amount being paid to your financial adviser.
Initially, your employer will negotiate your financial adviser’s
ongoing remuneration, however, you may renegotiate this yourself.
Employer Tiering
We offer a group tiering discount on the administration fees
depending on the total value of all Accounts within your
employer group. Please refer to the discount scale on page 3.
If the standard monthly adviser remuneration applies, the discount
applies to the full Administration fee. For example, a 50%
discount on the SMA – Funds fee of 1.23% (excluding GST cost
recovery which is calculated on the final Administration fee) gives
an effective Administration fee of 0.6% (0.615% including GST
cost recovery).
If the standard monthly adviser remuneration is varied the
applicable employer group discount is applied to 75% of the
standard Administration fee (i.e. the portion of the Administration
fee that is retained by us) but not to the portion of the fee that
is paid to your financial adviser.
Volume benefits
Generally up to 40% of our Administration fees (after any standard
monthly adviser remuneration) may be paid to your financial
adviser as a volume benefit (also known as a platform payment).
Additional loyalty payments of up to 25% of the Administration
fee (after any standard monthly adviser remuneration) may also
be paid to financial adviser groups who qualify under certain
other criteria. Please note this is not an additional cost to you.

Investment fee rebates
We have been able to negotiate rebates on the Investment fees
charged by some investment managers. Investors with an Account
open at the time these rebates are received by us, which is
generally quarterly, will benefit from these rebates (also known as
fund manager payments).
The range of Investment fees shown in the fee table for SMA –
Funds and Managed Profiles, on page 5, take into account the
Investment fee rebates applicable at 30 June 2004.
Investment fee rebates may vary from time to time. Please refer
to PART 2 of the PDS for the amount of the Investment fee
rebate for each investment option.You may review the current
Investment fee rebates at any time by logging on to Investor Online
at www.investoronline.info and referring to PART 2 of the PDS
and related updating information (please refer to the description
for obtaining updating information on page 1 of the PDS).
Remuneration from investment managers
We may receive remuneration (of up to 100% of the Investment
fees) directly from investment managers in exchange for providing
access to services and information (also known as fund manager
payments). However, we do not provide any personal information
about you to these investment managers.
Performance fees
Some of the investment managers of the managed investments
available through your Account may be entitled to performance
fees in addition to the Investment fees they receive. Performance
fees, if applicable, will increase the Management Cost for a
managed investment option. Please refer to the relevant managed
investment’s PDS for any performance fee information. Speak to
your financial adviser for a copy of the current underlying PDS.
Cash Balance
Should your Cash Balance become negative at any time, we will
charge interest on the negative amount at the same rate as
interest paid on positive Cash Balances. See pages 25 and 26 of
the PDS for more information.
The events that may cause your Cash Balance to become
negative include certain payments that are made from your
Cash Balance such as fees and taxes.
Share brokerage
This fee is applicable to the purchase/sale of shares through a
Managed Profiles Account. A brokerage fee of $20.50 is charged
per trade from your Account.This cost is an additional cost to you.
This fee can be varied at any time by the broker without notice.
Buy/Sell differential
The buy/sell differential typically ranges from 0.00% to 2.20%, but
can be higher.This cost is an additional cost to you.
When units in a managed investment are bought and sold,
transaction and brokerage costs are incurred.These costs are
applied to those investors who buy and sell units, in particular,
managed investments and this is done through the use of two
different unit prices – a buy price and a sell price.The difference
between the buy price and sell price takes into account these
costs and is called the buy/sell differential and, as stated above,
can range from 0.00% (that is, no buy/sell differential) to 2.20%.
For example, if you wanted to invest $10,000 in a managed
investment and the buy price was $1.00 per unit you would
receive 10,000 units. If you subsequently sold all of the units on the
same day the units would be sold at the sell price. If the sell price
was $0.995 per unit (that is a 0.50% buy/sell differential applies),
you would only receive $9,950 for the sale of those 10,000 units.

Rapid Withdrawal facility
If you use the Rapid Withdrawal facility to make a withdrawal from
your Account, there is a charge of 0.25% of the withdrawal amount
or $50.00 (whichever is greater).This fee is not subject to GST.
For a further explanation of the Rapid Withdrawal facility, please
refer to page 29 of the PDS.
Protection of small accounts (Super Account only)
Government regulations limit the amount of fees that can be
deducted from your benefits if the value of your Account is less
than $1,000 and includes, or has included, Superannuation
Guarantee or award contributions from your employer. Any
required refund of fees will be made after 30 June each year.
In addition, we review your Account balance twice monthly, at
which time, if the balance of your Account is less than $2,000,
contribution fees charged since the last review will be refunded.
Insurance premiums
If you have insurance cover through your Account, the premiums
payable will be deducted monthly from your Cash Balance. If
there are insufficient funds in your Cash Balance to pay these
premiums, your Cash Balance will be taken into negative to fund
the premium payment, and your managed investments will be
sold in proportion to their current value to restore the Cash
Balance to its required level. If the balance in your Account is
insufficient to cover the premium, a contribution deposit must be
made to your Account to ensure continuity of insurance
protection. Please refer to page 43 of the PDS for more
information about insurance premiums.
Insurance administration fees
We may, but currently do not, charge you a monthly insurance
administration fee of up to $2.56 (including GST) per month on
each type of insurance selected.The administration fee covers the
cost associated with establishing and maintaining your insurance
and is unrelated to the fees the Insurer pays us for administration
services. It is not a fee payable to the Insurer for your insurance.
If there are any changes to these fees we will give you three
months notice prior to any changes being implemented.
Insurance profit share
We may be entitled to a profit share rebate (if it is justified by the
claims experience) from the insurer as remuneration for the
administrative services we provide.
Variation of fees and other costs
We are entitled to charge the following fees:
• Contribution fee – 6.1500%
• Administration fee – 1.5375%
• Trustee fee – 0.1537%

written notice of any proposal by us to introduce new fees and
other costs or to increase our current fees and other costs.

the PDS for the full list of investment fees for Managed Profiles.

Service fee
We may receive a service fee of up to 1.1% (including GST) per
annum from St.George Bank Limited or other providers of cash
products.This fee may be received on some, or all of the cash

of your banking business, and for performing client service
activities and transaction reporting.This service fee is calculated as
a percentage of the daily balance of the relevant cash products. It
is not an additional charge to you.

Your financial adviser must disclose to you any benefits they
receive in relation to you investment, including all fees and costs
that you have negotiated with them. Please refer to your financial
adviser’s Financial Services Guide and/or Statement of Advice for
further information on these benefits.
Alternative Forms of Remuneration Register
We are required to comply with the Investment and Financial
Services Association Code of Practice on Alternative Forms of
Remuneration (‘the Code’), in the wealth management industry.
The Code aims to eradicate any practises that may influence
product providers and financial advisers acting outside of your
best interests.
We are required by the Code to maintain a register to record
any material forms of alternative remuneration (being $300 per
item or more) which are paid and received by us. Registers are
required to be maintained by fund managers, platform providers,
representatives and licensees.
Our register is publicly available for inspection by you and a copy of

If you are eligible for Choice, your employer will provide you with
a standard choice form.The standard choice form allows you to
choose a superannuation fund. It will contain the name of the
default fund into which your employer will pay your SG
contributions if you do not chose another superannuation fund
into which your employer can pay your SG contributions.
Your employer has the option to nominate ASGARD Employee
Super as its default fund.
We recommend you seek advice from your financial adviser
regarding Choice.Your financial adviser will help you assess your
superannuation requirements and better plan for your security
in retirement.
The information on page 43 of the PDS entitled ‘Protecting
your future with ASGARD insurance’ should be read in
conjunction with the following information.
Insurance under Choice
The Choice legislation provides that employers may make SG
contributions to a default superannuation fund for their
employees if that fund meets the minimum requirements under
the Choice legislation in relation to offering insurance cover in
respect of death.
Our Choice Insurance Offering
In order to satisfy the minimum insurance cover required under
the Choice legislation we have introduced a Basic Cover option.
Basic Cover will be applied to all eligible new members joining
ASGARD Employee Super from 1 July 2005.
You are eligible for Basic Cover if:
• you are under age 65
• your employer has nominated their ASGARD Employee
Superannuation corporate superannuation fund as their
default fund
• you are not covered for insurance protection through an
existing group insurance benefit design in your employer’s
superannuation arrangements.
Basic Cover will include life and total and permanent disablement
(TPD) protection (except members who are employed in
hazardous occupations, who will be covered for life protection
only) based on a ‘fixed dollar premium per unit per week’ benefit
design. Members covered by Basic Cover will have one unit of
insurance cover.
Basic Cover
The following information describes the features of Basic Cover.
Levels of Basic Cover
The level of cover per unit depends on your age next birthday, as
shown in the table below:
Age next birthday Life & TPD cover per unit
Level of cover per unit
15 to 40 71,000
41 to 45 59,000
46 to 50 40,000
51 to 55 27,000
56 to 60 18,000
61 to 65 11,500
Supplementary PDS ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account – Members 15
Can I cancel or vary my insurance cover?
If you choose not to have Basic Cover you must complete a
‘Request to Cancel Insurance Benefits’ form and forward it to
ASGARD Capital Management Ltd, PO Box 7490, Cloisters
Square, Perth,WA 6850.
Note: Before you exercise your option to cancel the insurance
cover provided through your membership of ASGARD Employee
Superannuation, we recommend that you discuss this with your
financial adviser first.
Can I have TPD cover under Basic Cover if I am a
casual employee?
Yes. If you are employed for 15 hours or more per week the
definition of TPD is shown on page 44 of the PDS. If you are
employed for less than 15 hours per week during the thirteen
week period prior to the date of the event that caused you to
become totally and permanently disabled you will receive a TPD
benefit if you are unable to perform at least two of the following
activities of daily living:
• Dressing – the ability to put on or take off clothing
without assistance.
• Bathing – the ability to wash or shower without assistance.
• Toileting – the ability to use the toilet including getting on
and off without assistance.
• Mobility – the ability to get in and out of bed and a chair
without assistance.
• Feeding – the ability to get food from a plate into the mouth
without assistance.
When will Basic Cover terminate?
Please refer to Page 46 of the PDS for the circumstances in
which your Basic Cover will terminate. For Basic Cover your
expiry age for life and TPD cover is the anniversary of the
commencement date of insurance prior to your 65th birthday.
In addition Basic Cover will terminate if your Cash Balance has a
nil balance 120 days after the date that you commence service
with your employer.
For further information about insurance cover please also refer to
the section headed ‘Protecting your future with ASGARD
insurance’ on pages 43 to 49 of the PDS.
Cost of Basic Cover
The premium for one unit of cover depends on your occupation
category, as shown in the table below:
Premiums will be deducted monthly from your Cash Balance.
When will Basic Cover commence?
If you have become a member of ASGARD Employee
Superannuation because your employer has recently enrolled as
an ASGARD Employee Superannuation participating employer,
and your employer has nominated the ASGARD Employee
Superannuation superannuation fund as their default fund, then
cover will commence from the date you become a member.
If you have joined your employer’s ASGARD Employee
Superannuation default superannuation fund as a result of
commencing employment with your new employer cover will
commence from the first day that you attend your employment
and commence your usual employment duties, and will remain in
force provided that we receive an initial contribution from your
employer within 120 days of you commencing employment.
The cover expiry age (for purposes of termination of your cover
– please see page 46 of the PDS) for this category of insurance
cover is age 65.
Basic Cover will automatically apply under our automatic
acceptance business rules, regardless of the number of employees
in an employer group.The elimination of the minimum employee
requirement, where cover is provided under Basic Cover, replaces
the current business rules that automatic acceptance will only be
provided where there is a minimum of five employees and all
employees take up insurance cover.

Professional $1.00
White Collar $1.00
Light manual $1.25

Government co-contributionsWe accept co-contributions paid by the Government. If you earn
less than $58,000 (taxable income plus reportable fringe benefits)
a year, are otherwise eligible and make personal super contributions
to your Account, the Government will pay into your superannuation
Account a co-contribution up to a maximum of $1,500 per annum.
Employees on incomes up to $28,000 making their own personal
contributions will receive $1.50 per dollar of personal contributions
up to the maximum of $1,500 per annum.The maximum co-
contribution will reduce by 5 cents per dollar of income from
$28,000 up to $58,000 (for the 2004/05 financial year).
Each year we report your contributions to the Australian Taxation
Office (ATO) to allow them to determine whether you are
eligible to receive the Government co-contribution.Through this
reporting the ATO will also determine that any entitlement to the
Government co-contribution can be accepted by ASGARD and
will therefore be paid into your ASGARD Account. If you have an
entitlement to the Government co-contribution that relates to
contributions you have made to another superannuation fund,
you can still nominate another fund, such as your ASGARD
Account, to accept the co-contribution.
To do this, simply complete the ATO superannuation fund
nomination form which you can obtain from ASGARD or your
financial adviser and forward the form to the ATO. Please contact
your financial adviser to establish whether you are eligible to
benefit from the Government co-contribution.
The ATO will assess whether you are entitled to receive a co-
contribution payment using the information we provide them and
the income tax return you lodge. Payment of the co-contribution
will be made to your Account after the year when you have
lodged your income tax return.The ATO will send you a letter
with details about your co-contribution amount after it has been
deposited into your Account.
Super and Family LawSuperannuation can be divided or ’split’ between spouses, in the
event of their marriage breakdown, by agreement or by court
order. All are binding on us.
We may be required under the Family Law Act to provide
certain information about your superannuation benefit to ’eligible’
persons (as defined under the Family Law Act).This includes your
spouse.The Family Law Act requires us to provide information to
an ’eligible person’ without notifying the relevant member that
the request for information has been made.We are also
prohibited from providing either the member or non-member
spouse’s address details to the other party.
As the Family Law Act provisions regarding the splitting of
Super benefits are highly complex we recommend that you
seek financial and legal advice with respect to your own
particular circumstances.
We do not currently charge any fees for ’splitting’ of
superannuation Accounts, providing information or meeting other
Family Law Act requirements. However, we may review this policy
in the future and reserve the right to do so. If we decide to
charge a fee we will give your 30 days advance notice in writing.

SMA – Funds
Within SMA – Funds ASGARD has constructed five portfolios
tailored to meet specific investment risk tolerance levels.Whether you
are a cautious investor or are willing to take greater risks for a higher
return on your money, there’s a portfolio to suit you.This is explained
more fully in the section on SMA – Funds on pages 9 to 15.
Unless your employer has nominated an alternative investment
default you will have been placed in SMA – Funds, in a portfolio
based on your age (see table below).The age-based portfolios
assume that different amounts of risk are more suitable at different
stages of your working life and are based on ASGARD research.
You can stay in the portfolio allocated to you, or you are free to
alter your portfolio choice or switch to Managed Profiles at any
time according to your personal investment risk profile and
retirement goals.
If your employer has nominated an alternative investment default
this will be detailed in your Welcome Letter from ASGARD.
The default options are fully explained on pages 9 to 15.
Managed Profiles
Through Managed Profiles you design your own investment
profile specific to your individual investment needs.
Together with your financial adviser, you establish an investment
profile containing any number of managed investments chosen
from ASGARD’s extensive range of more than 200 wholesale
managed investments.Your money, including any additional
investments, is invested according to this profile.You can purchase
shares from a broad range of securities listed on the Australian
Stock Exchange.This is explained more fully in the section on
Managed Profiles on pages 16 to 22.
What is a master fund?
A master fund (also known as a master trust) is an administration
facility for investment and superannuation.With a master fund,
you can access a wide range of investments through your
Account.You receive consolidated transaction and valuation
reporting as well as the convenience of one central point of
contact for all your Account queries.
Investing through a master fund is an excellent way to diversify –
or spread – your investments across different asset classes –
shares, property, cash and fixed interest. By diversifying your
investments, you will generally receive a more consistent return
on your overall investment (ie the investments performing well
may compensate for any which don’t perform quite so well).

Choice
Through ASGARD Separately Managed Accounts – Funds you select one of five portfolios specific to yourinvestment needs.
ASGARD Employee Super 9
ASGARD Separately Managed Accounts – Funds offers you a
choice of five diversified portfolios, each with a specific set of
risk/return characteristics.With ASGARD Separately Managed
Accounts – Funds, you make just one investment decision for
your overall portfolio choosing one of the following portfolios:
• Defensive
• Moderate
• Balanced
• Growth
• High Growth
The portfolios are not offered as unitised funds with a single unit
price. Each portfolio invests in managed investments listed on the
ASGARD investment menu and as an investor, you will hold a
beneficial interest in unit holdings in each of the underlying managed
investments that comprise the portfolio.This means that when you
want to switch investments from one portfolio to another, you may
not need to sell down all of the holdings of the underlying managed
investments like you would with a single unitised fund.
How the portfolios are constructedASGARD has engaged St.George’s dedicated investment
consultancy unit, the Investment Solutions team, to oversee all
investment management work relating to the portfolios and to
make recommendations to the ASGARD Board regarding the
structure, design and make up of those portfolios.The Investment
Solutions team is responsible for the investment strategy, asset
allocation, fund manager selection, fund manager blending, and
ongoing monitoring and review of the portfolios. In conducting its
work, the Investment Solutions team also draws on the
investment manager research and ratings of ASSIRT Research.
Recommendations of the Investment Solutions team are
reviewed by the St.George Group Investment Committee, which
draws on senior investment professionals from across St.George
Wealth Management.The Group Investment Committee provides
an additional layer of diligence and peer review of the work of
the Investment Solutions team.
Investment philosophyThe portfolios aim to provide investors with superior long term
returns through the skillful selection and combination of
investment managers across asset sectors.The core principal of
this philosophy is that indepth research and selection of
investment managers can deliver above average returns over the
short to medium term, and that consistent attainment of above
average returns over the short to medium term will result in top
quartile performance over the long term.
The portfolios seek to deliver above average returns by:
• selecting top quality investment managers across asset sectors
• optimising the mixing of allocation to investment managers
within sectors
• using specialist active asset allocation investment managers.
In addition, the portfolios place a strong emphasis on risk reduction.
Risk control is a key element of the design and management of the
portfolios. Risk reduction is achieved through diversification across
three areas – asset sectors, investment managers and the individual
investment styles of investment managers.
The portfolios aim to reduce the extent of fluctuations in returns
brought about by investment style, and they are designed to be
style neutral (that is, not favouring any particular investment style)
with respect to the following two broad style factors:
Value or Growth
Generally, value managers buy shares when the current market
value is lower than the intrinsic value and endeavour to sell these
shares at a profit when the market recognises their true value.

ASSIRT Research and the ASSIRT Rating Service
ASSIRT Research was established in 1986 to provide
independent and objective research and analysis on the
Australian investment management industry.The ASSIRT
Rating Service was established in 1994, and today covers in
excess of 40 investment managers and more than 1,000
products, making ASSIRT Ratings the most comprehensive,
independent assessment of managed investments within the
Australian marketplace. ASSIRT Research employs a rigorous
and disciplined methodology resulting in consistent, thorough
and objective research.
10 ASGARD Employee Super
A growth manager is one who seeks capital gain from expected
further growth in company or security earnings.Typically, growth
managers place less emphasis on price/earnings ratios and other
valuation measures and more on earnings growth.
Small, mid, or large capitalisation bias
Investment managers with a small capitalisation bias focus on
selecting small companies as represented by stocks with small
market capitalisations, while mid and large capitalisation
investment managers focus on selecting stocks with mid and large
sized market capitalisations respectively.
Investment objectives
The portfolios are designed for investors seeking stability and
consistency of returns across the five different risk profiles –
Defensive, Moderate, Balanced, Growth and High Growth.Within
each risk profile, the portfolios seek to deliver above average
returns with below average risk over the short to medium term.
In addition, each of the five diversified portfolios has been
designed with specific long term return and risk objectives.You
can read about each portfolio in detail on pages 13 to 15.
Investment process
The investment process comprises the following six steps:
Step 1: Set objectives
Investment objectives for each of the five diversified portfolios are
set by consultation between Investment Solutions and ASGARD.
Once set, these objectives drive the determination of asset
allocation, sector structures and strategy of the portfolio.The five
portfolios range from the lower risk ‘Defensive’ portfolio, through
to the higher risk ‘High Growth’ portfolio. Generally speaking, the
lower the risk, the lower the expected return and the higher the
risk, the higher the expected return.
Step 2:Asset allocation modelling
After determining the appropriate investment objectives for each
portfolio, the Investment Solutions team determines the optimal
allocation to each asset class for each portfolio. Each portfolio is
built around a long term ‘strategic asset allocation’, which means
each asset class is allocated a percentage weighting within the
portfolio which is designed to be maintained over the long term.
The strategic asset allocation is determined based on long term
forecasts of risk and return of the underlying asset classes and by
application of a detailed modelling process.
For each risk profile, a target exposure to growth assets
(Australian equities, international equities and property) is
determined so as to position the portfolios in line with industry
categorisations of products.
Asset allocations are selected as those that maximize the return
for each given level of risk for each of the five risk profiles.The
relative positioning of the five portfolios is shown below and
details of the asset allocations for each of the portfolios is
provided on pages 13 to 15.
Step 3: Sector structuring
For each sector, the Investment Solutions team applies its
investment research to determine what it regards as the most
suitable long term investment strategy.This includes making
decisions on the following key factors:
Optimal number of managers to use – determining the number
of investment managers which achieves the greatest reduction in
risk without resulting in over-diversification of the fund.
Mix of active and passive management styles – determining
whether to adopt an active or passive investment management
approach is driven by analysis of the evidence of historic value-
add by active managers within each sector. An ‘active’ manager
seeks to outperform the index for a particular portfolio, while a
‘passive’ manager does not try to outperform the index, but to
provide the same outcome as the index by choosing shares in
line with those in the index.

Choice of investment style – in structuring the equity sectors,
the portfolios aim to minimise fluctuations in returns that are
brought about by investment style and market capitalisation
biases.The portfolios are thus diversified across investment styles
and market capitalisation biases.
Hedging of foreign currency exposure – in the case of
international fixed interest, the sector fund is fully hedged to
Australian dollars, thus eliminating any additional volatility
associated with currency. In the case of international shares, the
optimal hedge ratio has been determined as part of the asset
allocation optimisation process.The hedge ratio has been
determined as that which minimises the total risk of the
diversified fund.
Step 4: Investment manager selection
Strict qualitative and quantitative criteria are used for short listing
investment managers for potential inclusion in the portfolios.
From a qualitative perspective, investment managers are short
listed where they have an ASSIRT rating of 4 or 5 stars, or are
highly regarded by ASSIRT. Reference is also made to other
research houses, for comparison purposes, or where ASSIRT has
not rated a particular investment manager.
From a quantitative perspective, investment managers are
identified that have demonstrated superior performance over
rolling one, three or five year periods. A demonstration of
consistency in performance, relative to their investment style, is
also considered.
Each investment manager short listed for inclusion in the
portfolios is subject to a comprehensive due diligence process
undertaken by the Investment Solutions team.
Step 5: Investment manager blending
The aim of the portfolios is to minimise return fluctuations
brought about by style or market capitalisation factors.The
investment manager blending process aims to blend investment
styles that will generate the highest returns while reducing the
probability of loss, as well as help prevent extreme swings in
performance – thereby providing greater consistency and less
volatility of returns over the short and long term.The blending
process thus focuses on determining asset allocations that best
achieve this objective.
Step 6: Monitoring and review
The portfolios are subject to an intensive ongoing review process
to ensure that they are optimally positioned at all times.
Performance of the portfolios is monitored on a monthly basis,
while full, indepth analysis of sources of outperformance or
underperformance is conducted on a quarterly basis.
The investment manager composition of the portfolios is
reviewed on a quarterly basis, or as and when any major adverse
developments occur within the underlying investment managers.
The strategic asset allocations are reviewed on an annual basis or
upon any major economic or market structural change. Changes
to asset allocations are only likely to occur once every three
years, and even then, are not expected to be significant. Actual
portfolio allocations may drift from the long term strategic asset
allocations due to performance differences across sectors and
investment managers.The actual allocations are generally
reviewed on a six monthly basis, and rebalancing of the portfolio
at these intervals is undertaken to minimise the impact of capital
gains tax and to keep the asset allocation in line with the strategic
asset allocations set within each risk profile.
Accordingly, ASGARD, from time to time may change:
• the asset allocation ranges for the portfolios
• the strategic benchmark for each portfolio
• the managed investments that comprise the portfolios.This
includes changing from Pooled Superannuation Trusts to Non-Tax
Paid investments.

Managed Profiles
With ASGARD Managed Profiles you design your investment
profile from the extensive list of managed investments in the
Investment Selection.You can also include shares as part of your
Account.You may choose to change to Managed Profiles if you
would prefer to be more actively involved in the selection and
management of your investments.
How ASGARD selects managedinvestment optionsASGARD takes into consideration the quality of the investment
managers’ business, stability of their investment team, past
performance and their investment management process before
selecting suitable investment options.
How to decide which investmentsare best for youBefore deciding your investment options, you need to carefully
consider how much of your capital you are prepared to risk in
order to receive potential gains.Your financial adviser will help you
choose the right investment strategy to match your tolerance to
risk and your investment goals. Investments earning higher returns
usually carry a higher risk, whilst more stable investments such as
cash generally earn lower returns.
To help you and your financial adviser select the most appropriate
investment strategy, there is a product disclosure statement for
each managed investment and cash product available through the
Account.You must receive a copy of the product disclosure
statement for each managed investment and/or cash product you
choose, before you make an investment decision.
For more information about managed investments and cash
products offered in Managed Profiles see pages 17 to 22.

Choose your investment profile and letASGARD do the restWith the help of your financial adviser, you choose the managed
investments you want to invest in and the percentage to be
allocated to each.This is known as your investment profile.The
Investment Selection lists the investments that may be accessed
through your Account and is the form you need to complete to
choose your investment profile.
ASGARD will automatically invest your money according to your
investment profile and pay any fees from your Account.
Example: Selecting a profile
Ben has $50,000 he would like to invest in ASGARD
Managed Profiles.
With his financial adviser, Ben determines his selected investments
from the list of managed investments on the Investment Selection.
Using the Investment Selection, Ben allocates a percentage to each
of the managed investments he has selected – this is his profile.
His profile determines how his initial contribution, future
contributions and income distributions will be invested.
For example, Ben has selected the following profile:
Changing your investment profileYou can change investments (or the percentages allocated to
your investments) at any time, by the following methods.
Please note, if your account is currently waiting for a previous
purchase or sale of investments to complete and you have
requested to change your investments using one of these
methods, this request may be delayed.
Rebalancing
Over time, the weighting towards the managed investments you
choose will change due to the different performance of those
investments. Rebalancing is the process of buying and selling
managed investments to restore the investment percentages to
the levels you have chosen for your investment profile.
Auto-rebalancing – if you choose to use the Auto-rebalancing
facility, your investment percentages will be rebalanced
automatically to your investment profile either :
• quarterly (on or around the 15th of March, June, September
and December)
• half-yearly (on or around the 15th of June and December), or
• yearly (on or around the 15th of June)
If you choose the Auto-rebalancing facility, you should be aware that:
• at the time of auto-rebalancing we will check your Cash Balance
and if necessary restore it to the required level
• sales arising from Auto-rebalancing could result in a buy/sell
differential or a capital gains tax (CGT) liability being realised
(Non-Tax Paid managed investments only)
• if any of the managed investments in your investment profile are
closed to further investment or have sales restrictions, then those
managed investments will not be included in the Auto-rebalance,
although the rest of your managed investments will be
• no Auto-rebalancing will occur if your Account is in the process of
being closed or if the transactions are otherwise impeded.
Please note that your financial adviser must use adviserNET to
set up, change or cancel Auto-rebalancing.
One-off rebalancing – you can rebalance your Account by simply
re-submitting your original Investment Selection to ASGARD. Your
financial adviser can also do this for you online using adviserNET.
New investment selection
You can change your investment profile by completing another
Investment Selection.Your financial adviser can do this for you
using adviserNET. ASGARD will buy and sell managed investments
in accordance with your new instructions, so that your current
holdings are rebalanced to match your new profile. New
contributions made to your Account will also be invested
according to your new profile.

of your Account, so your Account will not be rebalanced.When a
switch is made, the profile percentage of the managed investment
you have switched from will be allocated to the managed
investment you have switched to.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) consequences
Each of the methods described above will generally result in the
sale of some or all of your investments.Where this happens, a
CGT event will occur that may result in you incurring a capital
gain or capital loss that will affect the amount of tax paid from
your Account.
Limited Power of Attorney
For your convenience, you can grant a Limited Power of Attorney
to your financial adviser.This allows your financial adviser to make
changes to your investment profile on adviserNET without the
need for you to sign an Investment Selection. If you’d like to grant
a Limited Power of Attorney to your financial adviser, please
contact him or her.
Purchasing shares In addition to managed investments, you can also purchase shares.
These include:
• shares in most top 300 Australian companies (based on market
capitalisation)
• shares in a selection of listed investment companies
• units in a selection of listed property trusts.
The section ‘Purchasing shares’ on page 26 explains in more detail
how you can include shares as part of your Account.

time.You can do this simply by completing an Investment

adviser can submit for you online using adviserNET.
Understanding asset classesManaged investments invest in one or more of the following
asset classes:
In the Investment Selection, the asset classes are grouped into
specialist categories: Income, Equity or Multi-Sector.
The Income and Equity investments are suitable for investors
who, together with their financial adviser, wish to choose their
own asset allocation. Investments under these categories can be
combined with other categories to create a diversified profile.The
Multi-Sector category offers pre-set diversified investments which
spread your money across a range of asset classes.
Each category offers a choice of investments from many of
Australia’s leading investment managers.

Your Account
When your employer opened your Account it was
automatically invested in either :
• an SMA – Funds portfolio, based on your age, if your employer
did not nominate an investment default
• the investment default chosen by your employer and detailed in
your Welcome Letter from ASGARD.
The table below shows the SMA – Funds portfolios for the
relevant age bands. If no date of birth was provided by your
employer you have been placed in the Balanced Portfolio.
Your funds will remain in this default portfolio, regardless of any
age threshold you reach, until we receive instructions from you
stating your choice of portfolio.
You can choose to change your portfolio now or at any time,
using the Investment Selection at the back of this Product
Disclosure Statement. ASGARD will purchase managed
investments on your behalf as required and pay any associated
fees from your Account. Managed investments purchased will be
held in ASGARD’s name as trustee.
If you choose to change your portfolio or switch from SMA –
Funds to Managed Profiles you will receive confirmation in writing
of receipt of that instruction.
You will also receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to
access Investor Online and Investor Oncall when your Account is
initially established.

Contributions to your Account can be:
• money contributed to superannuation for the first time, generally
by you, your employer or your spouse, including Superannuation
Guarantee vouchers or other notice of entitlement to
Superannuation Guarantee shortfall payments.* You must meet
certain conditions before contributions can be accepted from
each of these sources
• superannuation benefits you transfer or rollover from another
superannuation fund, retirement savings account or approved
deposit fund – known as Eligible Termination Payments.

How contributions to your Account are investedContributions made to your Account (unless they are
specifically for the purchase of shares) are automatically paid
into your Cash Balance and then invested according to your
investment instructions. For the process to purchase shares,
please refer to page 26.
Generally, ASGARD places transaction instructions with
investment managers on the next business day after receipt of
the contribution.
Maintaining a Cash BalanceA percentage of your Account is retained in cash to allow for
ongoing monthly transactions, such as the payment of fees.
The percentage varies according to your Account value as
shown below.
Your Cash Balance is held in a bank account with St.George Bank
and earns a competitive rate of interest. ASGARD checks your
Cash Balance regularly and when it exceeds the required balance
by $1,000 or more, the total excess is automatically invested
according to your current investment profile.
If your Cash Balance falls to less than 1% of your total Account
balance, ASGARD will automatically sell managed investments in
proportion to their current value to restore the Cash Balance to
its required level.
You can view your Cash Balance at any time on Investor Online
by looking up your Portfolio Valuation.
Example: Ben’s profile contains three
managed investments.
The following table illustrates how a $50,000 contribution to
Ben’s Account will be invested.
$50,000 minus 4% Cash Balance ($2,000) leaves $48,000 to invest.
Negative Cash Balance
Should your Cash Balance become negative at any time,

ASGARD will charge interest on the negative amount at the
same rate as interest paid on positive Cash Balances. ASGARD
will sell managed investments from your Account to restore your
Cash Balance to its required level, following the method
described above.
Example
Your Cash Balance is $4,000 below the required level.Your
Account currently has 80% of the total Account value invested in
Asset A, 10% in Asset B and 10% in Asset C. ASGARD will
restore your Cash Balance by selling down each asset pro rata to
produce the following amounts:
Purchasing shares (Managed Profiles only)If you elect to purchase shares, you will need to confirm that you
are comfortable with investing up to 80% of your Account in
shares.This indicates that you accept that there may be significant
volatility of returns within your investment portfolio.The
information below outlines how shares are bought and sold
within the Managed Profiles Account.
Shareholder Discount cards are not available to members who
purchase shares.
How shares are purchased
Funds for the purchase of shares are administered through a
Share Trading Account, set up as part of your Account.You are
not required to complete a separate application form to set up
the Share Trading Account.
You need to put money into the Share Trading Account before
you can purchase shares.You can do this in two ways:
• Make a contribution to your Account by cheque, and send a
Contribution Remittance Advice to ASGARD indicating that you
want the contribution invested in your Share Trading Account
• Ask your adviser to transfer funds from your Cash Balance to
your Share Trading Account electronically via adviserNET.
Your share purchase instructions can only be submitted by your
financial adviser online using adviserNET.
When a purchase is made, ASGARD debits the Share Trading
Account for the amount of the purchase and fees (see ‘Share
transaction fees’ on page 38) and notifies you and your financial
adviser of the successful purchase.
Interest will be paid (at competitive rates) on any funds remaining
in the Share Trading Account.
Restrictions on the purchase of shares
You can invest:
• up to 80% of the value of your Account in shares (including funds
in your Share Trading Account)
• no more than the greater of $10,000 or 30% of the total value
of your Account in a single share holding.
ASGARD will review your Account on a six-monthly basis to
ensure that the value of shares (including cash in the Share
Trading Account) is within these limits.
If the value falls outside these limits, we will notify you and your
financial adviser in writing and recommend that you adjust your
investment profile. If the adjustment is not made within three
months of the recommendation, ASGARD may make this
adjustment for you as follows:
• If the $10,000 or 30% limit on the value of a single share
holding is exceeded, ASGARD will sell shares in that holding to
bring it within the required limit
• If the 80% limit is exceeded, ASGARD will transfer any funds in
your Share Trading Account to your Cash Balance. If this
adjustment is not sufficient, ASGARD will sell down the share
holding with the highest value to bring your investment profile
back to the required limit.
Please note that ASGARD does not accept any liability for not
notifying you or not rebalancing your share portfolio.
Selling shares
If you purchase shares through your Account, you will not be able
to transfer them out of the Account.You will need to sell them if
you no longer wish to hold them in your Account.
Your financial adviser will forward your share sell instructions
electronically via adviserNET. Shares will be sold at market price.

When a sale is made, ASGARD credits the sale proceeds to the

on page 38) and notifies you and your financial adviser that the
sale has been successful.
You can instruct your adviser to use the funds to purchase other
shares or move them to your Cash Balance to be invested according
to your investment profile. Interest will be paid (at competitive rates)

EarningsEarnings from your investments will be in the form of capital
growth, dividends (if you have shares) and/or income distributions.
Dividends (if you have shares) and income distributions are
automatically paid into your Cash Balance and invested according
to your SMA – Funds portfolio or Managed Profiles investment
profile.You can view a summary of the income distributions and
dividends you have been paid on the Account Summary screen
on Investor Online.
ValuationsThe investments in your Account are valued at least weekly,
and in most cases daily, based on valuations provided by
investment managers.
You can view your Account value on the Portfolio Valuation
screen on Investor Online.
Accessing your moneyUnder superannuation law, different conditions apply to the
withdrawal of benefits from superannuation.These are explained
in detail below.
You should note that due to the level of investment returnsthat may be earned by your investments and ASGARD’scharges, if you close your Account within a few years of joining,you may get back less than you paid in.
Your superannuation benefits comprise contributions, any
rollovers, investment earnings and proceeds from any insurance
claims, less taxes, superannuation surcharge amounts, fees and any
other costs (including insurance premiums).
Government legislation protects the superannuation savings of
individuals and restricts the accessibility of funds. In general, you
cannot get your benefits paid to you until you have reached age
65, or have reached your preservation age and have retired.
Your preservation age depends on the date you were born
according to the following table.
Funds held in superannuation fall into one of three categories.The
categories, and what they mean in terms of withdrawing your
superannuation money, are explained below.
Benefit categories of superannuationThere are three benefit categories:
• preserved benefits
• restricted non-preserved benefits
• unrestricted non-preserved benefits
Unrestricted non-preserved benefits are accessible at any time.
However, access to preserved and restricted non-preserved
benefits is governed by superannuation law as set out below.
Accessing preserved and restricted non-preserved benefits
You may rollover preserved and restricted non-preserved benefits
to another complying superannuation fund or retirement savings
account at any time, but you can only have the benefits paid to you
if you satisfy a condition of release, as outlined in the table below.
Where a condition of release is satisfied, preserved benefits and
restricted non-preserved benefits become unrestricted non-
preserved benefits and can be paid to you.
Accessing unrestricted non-preserved benefits
Once your benefits become unrestricted non-preserved they can,
at any time, be:
• paid to you as a lump sum
• Contributions
• Rollovers
• Earnings
• Proceeds from
insurance claims

What happens to my superannuationwhen I retire?Once you retire from work your superannuation benefits must bepaid as either a lump sum or transferred to anothersuperannuation or pension fund, or a retirement savings account.
With an ASGARD Employee Super Account, it’s easy to transferyour money directly into a tax-effective ASGARD PensionAccount.You can choose from:
• Allocated Pension – You have a regular allocated pension paid to
you monthly, quarterly or annually.You can choose the amount of
pension paid (within set limits) and you can withdraw part or all
of your investment as a lump sum.
• Term Allocated Pension – Like an allocated pension, you have a
regular pension paid to you. However, the amount is set and lump
sum withdrawals are only allowed in special circumstances.You
must also choose the term over which your pension will be paid to
you and once you have selected this term, it cannot be changed.
General information on withdrawalsWithdrawals may be subject to restrictions imposed by some investment managers. Details of specific withdrawalrestrictions appear in the product disclosure statement relating toeach managed investment and cash product. None of themanaged investment options offered by ASGARD has a minimumholding requirement.
If your account is currently waiting for a previous purchase or saleof investments to complete and you have requested a withdrawal,this withdrawal may be delayed.
If you wish to transfer or rollover any part of your benefits orclose your Account and have not left your employer, we requireyour employer’s approval before we can process your withdrawal.
One-off withdrawals
To make a one-off withdrawal, submit a Payment Request form.Unless you indicate otherwise on your Payment Request, we willfund partial withdrawals from your Cash Balance, followed by thesale of managed investments (in proportion to their currentvalue) from your Account.
If managed investments do not need to be sold, ASGARD willendeavour to pay the required amount within five working daysof receiving a request at the Perth office.

If managed investments do need to be sold, ASGARD willendeavour to pay the amount requested within five working daysof receiving the proceeds from the sale of all the investments.
The price you receive on a managed investment will depend onwhen the investment manager receives and processes therequest.We will pay your withdrawal amount to you after wehave received all the funds from the relevant investment manager.
Example: How withdrawals from your
Account are treated
When a withdrawal is made, units in each managed investmentare sold down proportionately by their current holdings.
Over time, the actual holdings in each of the managedinvestments may become different to your profile. For example, six months after opening his Account, this is how Ben’s Account looks:
Now, Ben has decided to withdraw $12,000 of unrestricted non-preserved benefits.There is currently $2,000 available in the CashBalance.The remaining $10,000 would be funded as follows:
Because the Cash Balance is now $0, ASGARD will also sell downadditional managed investments to top up the Cash Balance tothe required level.
If you would like to fund part of a withdrawal from the sale ofshares you must arrange, through your financial adviser, to havethe shares sold before lodging the Payment Request.You will alsoneed to indicate on your Payment Request that you require fundsto be taken from your Share Trading Account.
Rapid Withdrawal
If you request a Rapid Withdrawal, you will generally receive
payment within 48 hours of your original signed request being
received by ASGARD in Perth, subject to the terms and
conditions on the Rapid Withdrawal Request form.
What happens if you die?Under superannuation law, you can nominate to have the balance
in your Account (including any insured benefit) paid to a
dependant or your estate, in the event of your death. Dependants
only include the following:
• your spouse (married or de facto)
• your children (including adopted, step and ex-nuptial children)
• Any person with whom you have an interdependency relationship
• any other person financially dependent on you at the time of
your death.
For the purposes of superannuation law, subject to subsequent
change by Regulation, two persons (whether or not related by
family) have an interdependency relationship if:
a) they have a close personal relationship; and
b) they live together; and
c) one or each of them provides the other with financial
support; and
d) one or each of them provides the other with domestic
support and personal care.
If two persons (whether or not related by family) satisfy (a) and
they do not satisfy (b), (c) and (d) and the reason they do not
satisfy the other requirements is that either or both of them
suffer from a physical, intellectual or psychiatric disability, they will
still have an interdependency relationship.
Binding Death Benefit Nomination
This nomination is binding on ASGARD, subject to conditions.

If you do not nominate a beneficiary, ASGARD has the discretionto determine the recipient(s) of your benefits in accordance withsuperannuation law.
Tax implications of nominations
The tax consequences of a nomination can vary depending onyour choice of beneficiary.The type of nomination you make willnot impact on the amount of tax payable if any.You shoulddiscuss your tax position with your financial adviser.
What happens if you leave your employer?If you leave your employer and do not:
• nominate another employer group within the ASGARD Employee
Superannuation Account to which to transfer your Account, or
• rollover your benefits to another superannuation fund, retirement
savings account or approved deposit fund.
your Account will be automatically transferred to the ASGARD
Superannuation Account. If your account balance is under $2,000
you may be transferred to the Retirement Savings Account (refer
to Eligible Rollover Fund on pages 52 - 53).
Upon transfer to the ASGARD Superannuation Account, you will
retain the same investment option(s) and the same financial adviser
and your existing insurance will transfer automatically. However, as
you are no longer eligible for the Administration Fee discount (refer
to page 37) the costs associated with your Account may increase.
Likewise, as you will no longer be eligible for Group Insurance
premiums, there will be an adjustment to your insurance premium
(refer to ‘Continuation option’ on page 46 for further information).
Reporting
Investor reports
ASGARD’s comprehensive half-yearly Investor Reports provide
you with a clear picture of all your investments in one easy to
understand report.Your Report includes an account summary,
contribution history, how your funds are allocated to each asset
class, general market performance information, rates of return,
earnings and valuations for your investments.
Annual Report
Investors receive an Annual Report for each year to 30 June.The
Annual Report details important information for investors and
provides abridged financial statements relating to the Account.
AXIS
AXIS Magazine keeps you up-to-date with what’s currently
happening and what’s in the pipeline at ASGARD. AXIS includes
information about new ASGARD products and features, as well
as topical investment and industry information.
Communications from investment managers and
corporate actions
All investments are held in ASGARD’s name, as trustee.This
means that ASGARD receives all investment communications,
including annual reports and financial statements.
Because ASGARD holds all investments in its name, you forego
direct voting rights and generally will not be able to attend
investor meetings. Also, income from your investments will be
paid into your Cash Balance and you will not have access to any
Dividend or Distribution Reinvestment Program.
For Managed Profiles investors who hold shares in their Account,
when companies announce new shareholder entitlements, or
undertake restructuring or other corporate actions, ASGARD, as
trustee, will decide what action to take on your behalf. However,
ASGARD’s current policy is that no action will be taken where
the corporate action requires payment from your Account.
Electronic reporting
ASGARD is progressively increasing the range of reporting,
transaction and compliance information that we send to you
electronically.When you submit your application you agree to
receive certain communications and documents electronically.
We will notify you when we extend the range of information that
we make available electronically.
30 ASGARD Employee Super
ASGARD Employee Super 31
We have included only general information about tax below.The
amount of tax paid on the funds in your Account can depend on
a combination of factors, including:
• your individual circumstances
• the current tax rates applicable (contributions tax,
superannuation surcharge, top marginal tax rate, Medicare levy
and capital gains tax)
• your adjusted taxable income (ATI) for superannuation
surcharge purposes
• the components of any Eligible Termination Payment (ETP)
• your age
• the current Reasonable Benefit Limits (RBL)
• whether benefits are paid to you or paid as death benefits
to your dependants.
ASGARD’s taxation flyer ‘Tax and your retirement’, available from
your financial adviser or ASGARD Investor Services, is based on
current tax laws. It explains all the terms listed above, provides
current tax rates figures and thresholds and gives you an
overview of how taxation may apply to your Account.
Information in the flyer will be updated annually in line with any
changes to tax legislation.
Taxation of your superannuation
Contributions
Contributions tax is payable on:
• personal contributions (for which a tax deduction is allowed)
• all contributions made by your employer.
An additional contributions tax (superannuation surcharge) may
apply to certain contributions depending on your ATI.
ASGARD will deduct any contributions tax or surcharge owing
from your Account and ensure that it is paid to the Australian
Taxation Office (ATO) by the required payment dates.
Investment earnings
Generally, earnings in the Account are taxed at a lower rate than
most other forms of savings.
Non-Tax Paid managed investments
Some of the managed investments available are Non-Tax Paid
(NTP) managed investments.These investments do not pay tax at
fund level and superannuation funds will be liable for :
• tax at 15% on any taxable income distributed to them by NTPs
• tax at up to 15% on any capital gains distributed to them or
arising from the sale of units in NTPs.
Tax will be provided for in your Account on such distributions or
capital gains (before offsetting losses) at the rate of 15%. If we
subsequently establish that tax is payable on this income at a rate
lower than 15%, or that you have a capital loss from the sale of units
in NTPs which can reduce your capital gains, your Account will be
adjusted. (Capital gains will generally be taxed at only 10% when the
investment realised has been held for at least 12 months.) However,
these adjustments are only made annually, in December, for the
financial year that ended on the previous 30 June.
If you close your Account before the end of a particular
financial year, you will not receive the benefit of any adjustment
relating to that financial year. For further information, please
contact your financial adviser.
Tax features
Taxation is complex and we recommendyou consult a suitably qualifiedprofessional when considering tax mattersin relation to investing in the Account.
32 ASGARD Employee Super
Rolling over your superannuation
The post-30 June 1983 untaxed component of any rollover into
your Account (such as a ‘golden handshake’) is generally taxed at
the current rate after accounting for any allowable deductions.
The superannuation surcharge may also apply.
Withdrawals
Withdrawals are classified as ETPs. Different ETP components are
taxed at different rates depending on your age, the components
of the withdrawal and your RBL.
Death benefits
A lump sum payment made directly to a dependant (as defined
for tax purposes) will be tax-free up to your pension RBL.
A lump sum payment made directly to a non-dependant will be
treated as an ordinary ETP.
If a lump sum payment is made to your estate for distribution in
accordance with your will or the administration laws, the amount
given to a dependant by the estate will be tax free in the estate
and to the dependant up to your available pension RBL.
A payment to the estate in respect of a non-dependant will be
treated as an ETP in the hands of the trustee of the estate and
taxed at special rates.
If lump sum payments exceed the pension RBL, the excess amount
will be taxed at the top marginal rate plus the Medicare levy.
Taxation and your insurance
Taxation of premiums
All or part of the premiums paid through your Account may be
claimed as tax deductions by ASGARD. ASGARD will calculate
these deductions and reflect them in your Account.
Taxation of Total and Permanent Disablement
(TPD) benefits
There is no tax payable on TPD benefits paid into your Account.
However, any part of the benefit subsequently withdrawn will be
an ETP and taxed accordingly, except for any post-June 1994
Invalidity Component, which is tax-free.
If you consider the total and permanent disablement is a result of
personal injury the Insurer recommends that you seek
independent tax advice.
Taxation of Salary Continuance benefits
Any benefits received from this insurance cover will be assessable
to you as income and therefore subject to tax.
These comments are a guide only, based on our current
understanding of tax laws.As your individual circumstances may
be quite different, you should discuss any taxation issues with
your taxation adviser.

Important additional disclosure items
Upfront feesThe upfront fee is initially negotiated by your employer with the
appointed financial adviser, however you may be able to negotiate
a different amount for individual contributions.
ASGARD’s fee structure provides you and your adviser with
flexibility when determining the fees that will apply to deposits to
your Account.Your financial adviser can rebate part or all of their
remuneration, thus reducing the Upfront Fee you pay.
Administration Fee/Monthly AdviserRemunerationASGARD pays 25% of the Administration fee to your financial
adviser as a standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration and retains
the other 75%.
If your financial adviser agrees with you to receive more (or less)
than the standard 25%, the Administration fee can be increased
(or rebated) accordingly.You can choose to vary the
remuneration paid to your financial adviser in one of three ways:
• Replace the standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration (25%) with a
specified flat percentage per annum of your total Account balance.
• replace the standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration with a flat
dollar amount.You can also agree to increase this annually in line
with the Consumer Price Index.
• Increase the Administration fee by a specified percentage, with
the extra amount being paid to your financial adviser.
Initially, your employer will negotiate your financial adviser’s
ongoing remuneration, however, you may renegotiate this yourself.
Employer group tieringASGARD offers a group discount on the Administration Fee
depending on the total value of all Accounts within your
Employer group.The discount scale is as follows:
ASGARD pays 25% of the Administration fee to your financial
adviser as a standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration and retains
the other 75%.
If the standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration applies, the
discount applies to the full Administration Fee. For example, a
50% discount on the Managed Profiles fee of 1.5% (excluding
GST cost recovery which is calculated on the final administration
fee) gives an effective Administration Fee of 0.75% (0.76875%
including GST cost recovery). If the standard Monthly Adviser
Remuneration is varied the applicable Employer Group Discount
is applied to 75% of the Standard Administration Fee. Refer to
Administration Fee/Monthly Adviser Remuneration for
information on how the standard Monthly Adviser Remuneration
may be varied,
For example, where the total value of all Accounts within an
Employer Group exceeds $1,000,001 (but is below $5,000,000) and
Standard Adviser Remuneration applies, then, except for members
being charged the minimum Administration Fee, all employee
Accounts receive a 30% discount on their entire Administration Fee.
Cash BalanceShould your Cash Balance become negative at any time,
ASGARD will charge interest on the negative amount at the
same rate as interest paid on positive Cash Balances. See page 25
for more information.The events that may cause your Cash
Balance to go negative include investment profile changes
requested, (ASGARD buys and sells investments at the same
time) and certain other payments that are made from your Cash
Balance such as fees and taxes.
Investment manager fee rebateThese are discounts in the form of a rebate payable to you on
certain managed investments.The rebate is based on volume of
funds invested as negotiated between ASGARD and the
underlying investment manager from time to time.The rebate is
paid directly to your Cash Balance upon receipt from the
Investment Manager. It is calculated based on the number of units
you hold and the period for which you held them.The rebate
typically ranges from 0% to 40% of the disclosed Investment
Manager Fee but can be in excess of 40%.
Buy/sell differentialRepresents the percentage difference in the buy and sell price of
certain managed investments.This cost is only incurred when
$0-$500,000 0%$500,001-$1,000,000 5%$1,000,001-$5,000,000 30%$5,000,001-$10,000,000 40%$10,000,001-$20,000,000 45%More than $20,000,000 50%

those managed investments are bought or sold and reflects the
brokerage and other transactional costs incurred by the
investment managers.The buy/sell differential typically ranges from
0-1.5% but can be higher. Any buy/sell fees incurred are deducted
prior to the calculation of the unit price by the relevant
investment manager.
Rapid Withdrawal FacilityIf you use the Rapid Withdrawal facility to make a withdrawal from
your Account, there is a charge of 0.25% of the withdrawal amount
or $50 (whichever is greater).This fee is not subject to GST.
Insurance premiums If you have insurance cover through your Account, the premiums
payable will be deducted from your cash balance. If there are
insufficient funds in your cash balance to pay these premiums, you
will need to make a deposit to your Account or your cover will
lapse. Please note that the Trustee is not responsible for notifying
you if your insurance cover will lapse or has lapsed due to
insufficient premiums being paid by or for you. Refer to page 43
for more information about insurance premiums.
Protection of small accountsGovernment regulations limit the amount of fees that can be
deducted from your benefits if the value of your Account is less than
$1,000 and includes, or has included, Superannuation Guarantee or
award contributions from your employer.Any required refund of fees
will be made after 30 June each year. In addition,ASGARD reviews
your Account value twice monthly, at which time, if the value of your
Account is less than $2,000, establishment/contribution fees charged
since the last review will be refunded.
Share transaction feesApplicable to the purchase/sale of shares through a Managed
Profiles Account.The following fees are charged if you buy/sell
shares: Brokerage - $20.50 per security per transaction.This fee
may be varied at any time without notice.
Fee maximumsThe maximum fees (including a net GST cost recovery of 2.5%)
that can be charged under the Trust Deed are:
• Contribution fee – 6.1500%

• Withdrawal fee - $64.36 on each exit indexed annually
• Switching fee - $64.36 on each switch indexed annually
• Transaction Fee for the purchase/sale of shares through
Managed Profiles - $57.04 indexed annually.
Insurance administration feesASGARD may, but currently does not, charge you a monthly
insurance administration fee of up to $2.56 (including GST) per
month on each type of insurance selected.The administration fee
covers the costs associated with establishing and maintaining your
insurance and is unrelated to the fees the Insurer pays ASGARD
for administration services. It is not a fee payable to the Insurer
for your insurance.
If there are any changes to these fees, ASGARD will give you
three months’ notice prior to any changes being implemented.
Total ongoing fees, and differential feesCertain fees such as administration and expense recovery fees
vary depending on the value or balance of your Account (or other
factors). For example, discounts are provided on administration
fees – the higher the value of Accounts within an employer group,
the higher the discount on administration fee.
ASGARD reserves the right to further discount or decrease fees
as appropriate.These types of arrangements are permissible
where they do not adversely affect fees paid or to be paid by
other investors in the fund who are not entitled to the benefit of
those fee arrangements. Please note, under the Trust Deed all
fees are subject to a maximum limit, as provided above.
Once your receive your Investor Online PIN, you will have real-

Through the ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account, your
employer can arrange insurance for you at group rates.
This section applies to you if your employer has arranged insurance
for you. If so, we will be sending you a Policy Information Statement,
with a copy of the Master Policy, which will outline the type of cover
arranged for you, the amount of cover and your premiums.
If your employer has not arranged insurance cover for you, you
can apply for insurance independently. Details can be found in the
ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account Product Disclosure
Statement – Individual Enrolment, available from Investor Services
or your financial adviser.
You should ask your employer if you are unsure if insurance has
been arranged for you.
Types of insurance coverThe following types of insurance cover are available:
• Life Protection
• Life Protection and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) Protection
• Salary Continuance
The insurance cover provides worldwide cover, 24 hours a day,
subject to any terms and conditions noted on the Policy
Information Statement, however the Insurer may require you to
return to Australia at your expense for assessment in the case of
a TPD or Salary Continuance claim. Insurance cover is not
available if you are not a permanent Australian resident unless the
Insurer agrees in writing before you leave Australia.
The insurance cover which is provided as a benefit through your
Account is secured by a master policy which the Trustee holds
with PrefSure.You do not have any interest in this master policy.
Any payment of insurance benefits by the Trustee is limited to
payments received from PrefSure.
Life Protection
What is Life Protection?
Life Protection pays a lump sum if you die or are diagnosed with
a terminal illness.
Benefits
Death Benefit
If you die, your sum insured (at the date of death) will be paid.
Your Death Benefit is reduced by any benefits paid for Terminal
Illness or TPD.

or condition that is likely to lead to your death within 12 months
from the date of notice of your condition is received, the Insurer
will pay the full Death Benefit up to a maximum of $2,000,000. If
the Insurer pays less than the full Death Benefit, your insurance
will continue at the reduced benefit with a reduced premium.The
remaining Death Benefit will be paid on your death.

self-inflicted injury or attempt at suicide causes the terminal
illness, directly or indirectly.

Benefits
Total Disability Benefit
If you are totally disabled, the Insurer will pay the monthly benefit
after the selected waiting period has ended. No benefit is paid
during the waiting period, which you may choose as either 30 or
90 days, from the date that you are totally disabled.Total disability
means, due to sickness or injury, you are:
(i) unable to perform at least one important duty of your regular
occupation; and
(ii) not currently working in any gainful occupation; and
(iii) under the care and following the advice of a medical practitioner.
You must be totally disabled for at least 14 out of the first 19
consecutive days during the waiting period to qualify for this
benefit.You may return to work for a total of five days or less
during the 30 day waiting period (or 10 days or less if the waiting
period is greater than 30 days) without the waiting period
beginning again. Any days you work will be added to the length of
the selected waiting period.This benefit will be paid to you
monthly in arrears.
Partial Disability Benefit
If you are partially disabled after the waiting period has ended
and qualify for the Total Disability Benefit, the Insurer will pay you
a proportion of your monthly benefit based on the reduction in
your pre-disability income. Partial disability means, due to sickness
or injury, you:
(i) are only able to work in your own occupation in a reduced
capacity, or you are working in another occupation; and
(ii) have a monthly income that is less than your pre-disability
income; and
(iii) are following the advice of a medical practitioner.
Recurrent Disability Benefit
A claim recurring from the same (or related) cause within six
months will be treated as a continuation of the previous claim.
The waiting period will be waived and benefits will start to
accrue immediately.
Waiver of premium
If you are totally or partially disabled for longer than the selected
waiting period, you do not have to pay any premiums while
receiving a Total or Partial Disability Benefit.
Superannuation Contributions BenefitFor an additional premium you may choose to add the
Superannuation Contributions Benefit.The Superannuation
Contributions Benefit enables you to maintain your
superannuation contributions during periods of disability.The
benefit can be no more than the monthly equivalent of:
• the amount of total superannuation contributions made by you or
your employer on your behalf or
• 15% of your annual income
in the 12 months preceding the date you applied for this benefit.
The benefit will be paid directly to your Account.This benefit will
only be paid in circumstances permitted by the relevant laws
relating to superannuation and taxation.
Exclusions
The Insurer will not pay a benefit that arises in connection with:
• war or an act of war (whether declared or not)
• any intentional self-inflicted injury or any attempt at suicide
• normal and uncomplicated pregnancy or childbirth
• an exclusion which is specific to you and noted on the Policy
Information Statement.
Benefit reductions
If, due to your disability, you are entitled to any other income
which exceeds 10% of your pre-disability income, the Insurer will
reduce the monthly benefit that the Insurer must pay you under
this policy by the amount received.
Such disability income may include:
• any sick leave entitlements
• any payments resulting from a workers compensation or motor
accident claim or any claim you make under any State or
Federal legislation
• benefits from any other insurance that provides income payments
due to sickness or injury.
If your monthly benefit is reduced because of a benefit reduction,
a part of the premium paid to the Insurer in the last 12 months
will be refunded in proportion to the reduction of your benefit.
Other information you need to know
28 day cooling-off period
If you are not completely satisfied with the cover, you may cancel
it by notifying ASGARD in writing within 28 days of the issue
date of the your Policy Information Statement. Any premiums
paid will be refunded to your Account, unless you have made a
claim before the end of those 28 days.
The refund of premiums deducted from your Account may be
subject to the preservation rules of superannuation law. If this is
the case, the refunded premiums cannot be paid to you in cash
and will be paid back into your Account.
Interim Accident Benefit Interim Accident Benefit covers you if you have an accident while
the insurer considers your Life Protection and/or Salary
Continuance application.This benefit applies for up to 90 days.
You will be covered for the amount of insurance you have applied
for, subject to a maximum of $500,000 under Life Protection and
a maximum of $10,000 per month under Salary Continuance.
To whom are benefits payable?Any benefit payable under the insurance is paid to ASGARD and
held on your behalf until payable under the terms of the trust
deed for the ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account.
Life & TPD Protection
Before a TPD or Terminal Illness Benefit can be paid, you must be
permanently incapacitated as defined by superannuation law, or
satisfy another condition of release.
Salary Continuance
Before a Salary Continuance Benefit can be paid, you must be
temporarily or permanently incapacitated as defined by
superannuation law, or satisfy another condition of release.
Continuation optionIf you leave your employment your insurance cover will
automatically transfer to an ASGARD Superannuation Account.
The terms and conditions may change and your premium rates
will be based on smoker rates until you complete a Non Smoker
Declaration that we will forward to you upon transfer.
You also have the following options:
• if you join an employer who is also registered with the ASGARD
Employee Superannuation Account, then you can transfer your
Account and your cover to that employer group, or
• you can transfer your Life Protection only or your Life Protection
and Total & Permanent Disablement Protection to the ASGARD
Risk Insurance Service, provided you apply within 60 days of
ceasing your employment,
but the premium rates and the terms and conditions may change.
The transfer of your insurance cover to any account is subject to
the conditions of transfer set out in the relevant Master Policy.
Termination of your coverYour insurance cover will end as soon as one of the
following happens:
• you have reached the cover expiry age
• a Death Benefit has been paid
• a Benefit has been paid for Terminal Illness or TPD and there is
no remaining Death Benefit
• you cease to be employed by the employer group
• ASGARD receives a written request from you to cancel the
insurance cover
• premiums are not paid within 30 days of written notice of
premiums due
• the Insurer terminates for misrepresentation or non-disclosure
• you are no longer a member of the ASGARD Employee
Superannuation Account
• you are absent from active employment for a period of time of
more than one year
• you die
• the Master Policy ends.
If the Master Policy ends, ASGARD will endeavour to provide a
replacement policy with another Insurer under which the cover
will be continued on similar terms and conditions to that
provided in this policy.
What rules govern your insurance?Insurance in the ASGARD Employee Superannuation Account is
governed by an Insurance Master Policy. A copy of the Life
Protection or the Salary Continuance Master Policy is available for
inspection at our Head Office or we can provide you with a copy.
A copy will be sent to you with the Policy Information Statement
once your insurance has been accepted by the Insurer.
The Insurer may vary the terms and conditions of the Master
Policy provided ASGARD agrees.
Competitive premiums
Premiums are based on the type and level of cover you or your
employer choose along with various factors such as your age,
gender and occupation.They are recalculated at each anniversary
of the commencement date of insurance based upon your age
and/or any increase in the sum insured.
The premiums for insurance will be placed in the Insurer’s Statutory
No. 1 Fund and insurance claims will be paid from that Fund.
Future premium rates are not guaranteed to stay the same as
current premium rates.The Insurer reserves the right to change
the premium rates under the Master Policy and must provide
ASGARD with 90 days’ notice.The premium rates for your
employer’s plan are generally guaranteed for three years from the
commencement date of your employer’s group insurance plan,
however these rates may change earlier if:
• the number of employees changes by more than 25% from the
date of the last rate review of your employer’s group insurance
plan, or
• there is a material change to the Benefit Design.
Any Government taxes or charges (including Stamp Duty)
relating to this policy will be passed on with immediate effect.
ASGARD will deduct your insurance premium from your Account
monthly.As ASGARD is not liable to meet the cost of your
46 ASGARD Employee Super
ASGARD Employee Super 47
insurance, if you do not have enough cash in your Account
ASGARD may be required to sell a portion of your investments in
your Account to pay the premium. If your Account balance is
insufficient to cover the premiums, the Insurer will allow you up to
30 days (from the premium due date) to pay your premiums before
your insurance cover will cease.You will be advised in writing of the
date when all cover will cease if the premiums are not paid.
ASGARD receives up to 11% (including GST) of insurance
premium payments from the Insurer as remuneration for the
administrative services it provides.This remuneration is included in
the premium rate.
Your Financial Adviser receives up to 27.5% (including GST) of
insurance premium payments as remuneration, except if the
Benefit Design is 'Fixed Dollar premium per unit per week cover'
in which case your Financial Adviser currently receives 22%
(including GST) of insurance premium payments as remuneration.
This remuneration is also included in the premium rate.
When does insurance cover commence?Generally, insurance cover will commence on the date your
Account was opened by your employer, as long as you qualify for
insurance cover and are eligible for Automatic Acceptance, and an
initial contribution is made within 60 days. If this does not occur
you will be required to provide a personal medical history and
your insurance cover will commence once the Insurer has
accepted your application.
How did your employer select yourinsurance cover?The amount of insurance cover required differs amongst various
employee categories, depending on the age, type of work
performed and income of employees within each group.Your
employer has decided what insurance cover is to be arranged for
different employee categories and has specified a Benefit Design for
each.You will have been allocated to a category by your employer.
Some Benefit Design alternatives are detailed below.Your
employer may have selected one of these or designed their own.
Life and TPD Protection
• Fixed-dollar amount (eg $500,000)
• Fixed-dollar premium per unit per week cover – refer to page 48
• Multiple of salary (eg 5 x salary)
• Fixed-percentage of salary per annum for each year of service
remaining to age 65, calculated annually (eg 10% of salary x
years to age 65).
Salary Continuance
Salary Continuance requires your employer to nominate a
percentage of your income that will be replaced (maximum is the
lesser of 75% and $20,000 per month) and a waiting period of
either 30 or 90 days before a benefit becomes payable to you.
The benefit period is two years. In addition to protecting your
income your employer may have arranged to protect your
superannuation contributions up to a maximum of 15%.
What is Automatic Acceptance?Automatic Acceptance provides you with cover without the need
for you to provide a personal statement or any underwriting
evidence, which is normally required by the insurer to assess the
risk of insuring individuals. Because your employer has nominated
a Benefit Design for you and by meeting certain criteria, you can
be automatically covered.
As the number of employees increase, the cover limits for
Automatic Acceptance also increase, as shown below. For example,
if your employer has 60 employees, your employer can provide
insurance cover for each employee for Life and TPD Protection up
to $500,000 without the need for personal statements.
If you would like a higher level of cover than that allowed under
Automatic Acceptance, you need to be personally underwritten for
the amount above the Automatic Acceptance Level.You will need
to complete an Insurance Application and Personal Statement, both
of which can be found in the Employee Super Product Disclosure
Statement - Individual Enrolment. (This is available from Investor
Services or your financial adviser).

Type of cover Eligibility* Expiry age *^ Maximum cover levels
Who qualifies for insurance cover?
* Age is age next birthday^ Cover ends on the anniversary of the commencement date of insurance prior to the expiry age indicated
Automatic Acceptance is subject to:
• your employer having at least five employees who qualify for
insurance (if your employer has less than five employees you will
be required to provide personal medical history), and
• at least 75% of the employees in your employer group have
insurance through their Accounts, or at least 90% of employees
that have an Account have insurance, and
• you being actively at work and undertaking all the regular duties
of your occupation on the day you are eligible to join the
insurance plan.
Should you wish to reinstate your insurance after it has been
cancelled, Automatic Acceptance will not apply and you will be
required to provide personal medical history.
What are the Automatic Acceptance limits?
The following table should be used as a guide only:
How do you estimate your premium?See Fixed-dollar premium per unit, per week if your insurance
has been arranged using the Fixed-dollar premium per unit, per
week benefit design. (Your employer will be able to advise if
this is the case.)
The rate tables on pages 50 to 51 give an indication of the
premium rates that may be payable in respect of each applicable
type of cover.You should note however that these rates are
indicative only.The precise rate payable in your particular case
may vary depending on:
• your age next birthday
• any underwriting requirements (which may take into account the
state of your present health, your occupation and any other
relevant factors)
• the remuneration payable to the financial adviser
• any additional benefits, premium payment factors or discounts
that may apply to your cover.
For more details about premiums, or quotation of the premium
payable for your chosen cover, please contact Investor Services or
your financial adviser.
Payment factorsAll figures quoted are annual premiums.To calculate your monthly
premium, multiply the annual premium by 1.06 then divide by 12.
Life Protection only or Life and TPD Protection
To estimate the annual premium for your Life and TPD Protection,
find the premium rate applicable for your age next birthday
(ANB) on the table on page 50.Then do the following calculation:
Annual Premium = sum insured/1000 x annual premium rate.
Example
A female, white-collar employee is 35 next birthday.The annual
premium for $200,000 Life and TPD Protection would be:
$200,000/1000 x 0.62 = $124.00
Salary Continuance
To estimate the annual premium for your Salary Continuance, find
the premium rate applicable for your age next birthday on the
table on page 51.Then do the following calculation:
Annual premium (for 75% of income) = (75% x income/12/100 x
annual premium rate) + stamp duty.
Example
A male, white-collar employee with an annual income of $45,000
is 35 next birthday and resides in NSW.The annual premium for
insuring 75% of income with a 90 day waiting period would be:
75% x $45,000/12/100 x 1.03 = $28.97 plus stamp duty.
Fixed-dollar premium per unit, per week The ‘fixed-dollar premium per unit, per week’ benefit design
provides insurance cover for you in an easy-to-understand and
affordable package. If your insurance has been arranged in this
way then the following will apply. (Your employer will be able to
advise if this applies to you.)
The level of cover per unit depends on your age as shown below:

The premium price per unit per week depends on the
occupation category detailed below:
Your employer may have chosen multiples of units in order to
tailor the level of cover for their employees. For example, for a 47
year old heavy manual (skilled) tradesperson, three units
($120,000) of Life Protection Cover would cost $2.40 per week.
Automatic Acceptance will apply provided your employer:
• has a minimum of five (5) employees
• provides insurance cover for all employees
In addition, please note, there is a maximum number of units of
cover that can be provided for automatic acceptance, they are:
Should you wish to reinstate your insurance after it has been
cancelled, Automatic Acceptance will not apply and you will be
required to provide personal medical history.
The Automatic Acceptance Level (AAL) for your employer group
will be lesser of:
• the number of units your employer has selected as the level of
cover and
• the maximum number of units stated in the above table.
Should the selected number of units be greater than the AAL, or
should you increase your number of units above the AAL you will
need to be personally underwritten for the number of units

Managing riskAll investments contain an element of risk and you should be aware
that the value of investments may rise and fall, as may the amount of
income generated from those investments, depending on the market
and its effect on the value of the underlying assets. Sometimes
investments may not generate any income, and losses can occur.
Investment returns may be influenced by a variety of factors both
on a local and global scale.These include economic conditions,
interest rate movements, exchange rates, government policy,
technological and environmental factors as well as market
sentiment and business decisions. By diversifying your investments
and investing for an appropriate time frame you may reduce risk.
ASGARD takes business risks seriously and has procedures in
place to ensure its systems and processes work effectively.
Treatment of labour standards and environmental, social and ethical considerationsASGARD does not take into account labour standards or
environmental, social or ethical considerations in the selection,
retention or realisation of investments. However, the various listed
entities in which you may invest and investment managers of the
available managed investments and cash products may have their
own policy on the extent to which labour standards or
environmental, social or ethical considerations are taken into
account when making investment decisions.
For managed investments and cash products, any such policies
should be included in the product disclosure statements for
these investments.
Cooling offIf the first contribution made to your Account (whether by you
or your employer) is the first contribution to any Account of an
employee in the employer group, your employer has 19 days
from the date of that contribution to ask that the contribution be
refunded, which is known as cooling off.You do not have any right
to cool off.
Your employer may exercise their cooling off rights by notifying
ASGARD in writing within the 19 day period.
If the contribution was made by your employer, it will be returned
to them. If the contribution was made by you, it will be returned to
you, unless it is subject to preservation, in which case it cannot be
returned to you and will be paid to another superannuation fund,
retirement savings account or approved deposit fund as directed
by you. If no direction is given your benefit may be transferred
to the ASGARD Superannuation Account (see page 30) or the
Retirement Savings Account (see below).
The amount returned will reflect any market movements, up or
down, in the value of the investments in your Account. ASGARD
may also deduct taxes, reasonable transaction and administration
costs. As a result, the amount returned to you may be less than
the amount contributed.
Product minimums We reserve the right to remove a member with an average
balance in their ASGARD Employee Super Account of less than
$10,000 after a designated period of time.
ASGARD will provide a minimum of 30 days notice, and
appropriate information, to allow you to direct ASGARD in the
rollover of the monies to a fund of your choosing.
Complaints resolutionASGARD has established procedures for dealing with
enquiries and complaints that meet the Australian Standard
for Complaints Handling.
If you have any enquiries or concerns about the operation or
management of your Account, you can:
• call ASGARD Investor Services on 1800 998 185
• email [email protected]
• write to ASGARD Investor Services,
PO Box 7490 Cloisters Square, Perth WA 6850.
If you have complained to ASGARD about a decision which
affects you and your complaint has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, you may have a right to lodge a complaint about the
decision with the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal.The Tribunal
is an independent body set up by the Federal Government to
review trustee decisions relating to members (as opposed to
trustee decisions relating to the management of the fund as a
whole).You can contact the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal
by telephoning 1300 884 114 (for the cost of a local call).
Eligible Rollover FundThe Retirement Savings Account is ASGARD’s nominated Eligible
Rollover Fund. ASGARD may transfer your benefits to this fund if
the value of your Account is less than $2,000.
The trustee of the Retirement Savings Account is Advance Asset
Management Limited ABN 98 002 538 329 (‘Advance’).
Both ASGARD and Advance are wholly owned subsidiaries of
St.George Bank Limited.
Other information
ASGARD Employee Super 53
If your benefits are transferred into the Retirement Savings
Account, the trustee of the fund must ensure that all benefits are
subject to the ‘Member Protection Rules’ of the superannuation
law, irrespective of the size of the benefit.You will no longer be a
member of the ASGARD Superannuation Account and no
further contributions may be made to your ASGARD Account.
You will also no longer receive regular reports from ASGARD

4. You can only nominate an ‘eligible dependant’ or your estate. If you nominate your estate, your death benefit will form part of yourestate and will be distributable in accordance with your last valid Will or, if you do not have a valid Will, as the law provides. An eligibledependant is defined by superannuation law as:
• your spouse (including a person who, although not legally married to you, lives with you on a genuine domestic basis as yourhusband or wife (as the case may be))
• your child (including children such as adopted children and step-children, ex-nuptial children and adult children whether or notfinancially dependent on you, but not including grandchildren or nieces or nephews)
• any person with whom you have an interdependency relationship
• any other person financially dependent on you at the time of your death.

For the purposes of superannuation law, subject to subsequent change by Regulation, two persons (whether or not related by family)have an interdependency relationship if:
a) they have a close personal relationship; and
b) they live together; and

12 ASGARD Part 2 – Investment Selection 30 June 2005
This section is not applicable if you have already completed section 3, ‘Managed Profiles – Investment ProfileSelection’ on this form.
In this section, you can switch your total holding in any managed investment into another managed investment (existing or new).You can also switch a partial holding in any managed investment into another managed investment (existing only) or the Cash Balance.
The following options are only available if you are currently invested in Managed Profiles.
• Where there are multiple switches for a full switch, partial switch or switch to Cash Balance, the switches will be processed inthe order listed on the form.
• Where a full switch and a partial switch are requested partial switches will be processed before full switches.
• Where a partial switch or switch to the Cash Balance is requested, there is a minimum of $1,000 per switch.
Note:• When a full switch is made, the profile percentage of the ‘Switch From’ managed investment will be allocated to the ‘Switch To’
managed investment.
• A full switch instruction will not affect holdings in the remainder of your investment profile (that is, your investment profile will not be rebalanced).
Partial switch
Note:• A partial switch instruction will not affect holdings in the remainder of your investment profile (that is, your investment profile will
not be rebalanced).
• Partial switches can only be made to managed investments in your current profile (excluding closed investments).
• If you wish to switch one managed investment into multiple managed investments you will need to list each request separately on this form.
• Where the dollar amount is equal to or greater than 95% of the asset value then the entire ‘Switch From’ asset will be sold.This may result in more or less of the holdings being switched than requested.Where the 95% rule is applied the profile percentage of the ‘Switch From’ asset will remain in your client’s current profile (not applicable to closed assets which have been removed fromyour profile).
