As a consequence, returns can be positive or negative. Past investment performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.Benefits in ESSSuper’s Accumulation Plan, Income Streams and Beneficiary Account products are not guaranteed or underwritten by the Victorian Government or ESSSuper, and ESSSuper does not come under the jurisdiction of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. Your contributions have been grandfathered (i.e. previous conditions still apply despite new rules) and won’t exceed the concessional contribution cap if you joined the New Scheme, Transport Scheme or the ESSS DB Fund before 12 May 2009, and you haven’t increased your contribution rate since then. Increasing your contribution rate now or in the future will void grandfathering of the contribution caps. This means your contributions and those of your employer will be subject to the contribution caps. This may also mean you may incur additional tax. You can learn more about contribution caps on our Tax on contributions webpage, and refer to the relevant PDS or handbook for more information about grandfathering.The Board recommends that you seek financial advice before acting upon this information. Content was up to date at time of recording and thresholds do change due to federal legislation.
