Important notes
This calculator is not intended to be relied upon when making financial decisions. You should consider seeking professional advice before making any decision. The results which you generate when using the calculator are dependent on the variables you input and the assumptions made by the calculator. As the variables and assumptions are unlikely to match your situation precisely, the results will not be accurate.
The assumptions made by the calculator, and their limitations, are explained in here. We believe the assumptions (leaving aside the ones you input) are reasonable overall. A complex range of circumstances can impact on the calculations and it is necessary to take these into account to some extent. Given the calculator's purpose is to generate general illustrations and not accurate predictions, we think it is reasonable for the calculator to simplify reality. As these assumptions will be the same for any calculation, when you change a variable the result will be a reasonable illustration of the impact of that particular variable change. Some assumptions are conservative estimates of likely scenarios. The inflation assumptions is based on recent inflation rates. We have received actuarial advice that the assumptions are appropriate.
You should consider the product disclosure statement for a fund and your personal circumstances in order to decide whether a fund is suitable for you. A PDS for VISSF funds can be obtained here or by calling 1300 660 027.
