Welcome
Welcome
Message from the Chair and Chief
Executive Officer
Henry Smerdon AM
Chair
The last year has been a very busy one for
superannuation funds with a significant amount
of change occurring from the introduction of
Government initiatives. In this environment, AustSafe
Super has thrived and demonstrated a strong
connection to our values, to our members and our
employers in rural and regional Australia. We’re proud
to present the 2014 AustSafe Super Annual Report.
In April 2013, we welcomed the members of the Canegrowers
Retirement Fund (CRF) to AustSafe Super. Since the merger,
former CRF members have enjoyed strong investment returns with
the CRF Capital Stable Investment Option ranked in the top 10 best
performing^ Capital Stable Investment Options over the financial
year. We’ve also met with many of the former CRF members
directly and through our seminar program in the past year.
Our local team of Regional Managers
During the year, we added to our team of local Regional Managers
with the appointment of Anthony Brick in Townsville and Jamie
Woods in Mackay. Stacey Watson in Bundaberg was also
recognised as a winner in the 2013 Queensland Rural, Regional &
Remote Women’s Network (QRRRWN) Strong Women Leadership
Awards and as a finalist in the 2014 Women in Horticulture Awards.
We have a strong team of dedicated Regional Managers in local
regional areas to support members and employers.
Investments
Employer solutions – Clearing House
The Fund has continued to deliver strong investment outcomes with a return of 12.62%
for the MySuper (Balanced) Investment Option for the year to 30 June 2014. This strong
performance has also been demonstrated over the long term with average returns of 9.55%
p.a. over 3 years, 9.56% p.a. over 5 years and 9.40% p.a. over the 26 years since the
Fund began. This is a true testament to the hardworking nature of AustSafe Super and its
commitment to delivering strong investment outcomes for members.
This year we introduced a new Clearing House service to help
employers manage their superannuation obligations to comply
with SuperStream requirements. Our Clearing House, QuickSuper,
enables employers to make one simple payment for all their
superannuation contributions, saving time and money and
it’s free to all employers using AustSafe Super as their
default fund.
MySuper and insurance
Craig Stevens
Chief Executive Officer
Canegrowers Retirement Fund
During the year, we introduced the AustSafe Super MySuper product and delivered
significant improvements in the level and value of insurance cover for members. The
MySuper (Balanced) Investment Option proudly stands amongst the best performing* and
value for money# superannuation options for Australians, and is run only for the benefit
of members.
Board and Governance
Once again, the Board and team of AustSafe Super
have been working hard to deliver strong retirement
outcomes for members. We continue to focus
on strategies and services to meet the unique
needs of our members and employers in rural and
regional Australia.
The Board farewelled two long serving Directors
in 2013. Ian Ballantyne, a representative of
CANEGROWERS since 1991 and Bob Boscacci,
a founding Director representing the Australian
Workers Union. The Board would like to sincerely thank Ian and
Bob for their outstanding contributions to the success of AustSafe
Super and wish them the very best. Three new Directors also joined
the Board.
We have a strong team of
dedicated Regional Managers in
local regional areas to support
members and employers.
We welcomed Charis Mullen, Campaign Co-ordinator of the
Australian Workers’ Union, Queensland in October 2013. Also,
Tracey Sharpe, South Western District Secretary of the Australian
Workers Union of Employees, Queensland and Brendan Stewart,
an experienced executive and Director and the current CEO of
CANEGROWERS joined in February 2014.
The past year also saw a significant review of the Fund’s governance
frameworks to support the new Prudential Standards for superannuation funds and the introduction of maximum terms for Directors.
As the Government works to review and secure retirement policy for
Australians, there is no doubting the amount of change across the
superannuation landscape. We strongly believe that AustSafe Super
is well positioned to leverage this change for the benefit of members
and employers, and to strengthen our already strong relationship
with rural and regional Australia. Our commitment to strive for strong
retirement outcomes for our members is unwavering and is the
reason AustSafe Super exists.

measure and assess performance. When compared against

Fund Changes
On track with
obligations
Insurance
All employers are now required to make Superannuation Guarantee (SG)
contributions into a superannuation fund that offers a MySuper product on
behalf of any employees who have not chosen a specific fund themselves.
As part of the introduction of the MySuper
product, a number of changes were made
by AustSafe Super to its insurance offering,
effective from 6 December 2013. This included
providing more members with the benefit of
Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD)
cover. This was provided on an opt-out basis,
and the Fund wrote to members at the time
advising the changes, giving them the choice
whether to retain the insurance cover or not.
AustSafe Super received its MySuper Authorisation from the Australian
Prudential Regulation Authority on 23 August 2013. On 1 January 2014,
AustSafe Super launched its MySuper product under the name, MySuper
(Balanced) Investment Option, having renamed its default product, Balanced
Investment Option. As a result, AustSafe Super can now accept all SG
contributions from employers.
SuperStream
SuperStream is the name given by the Government to cover the changes
to be made to improve data quality and to direct the use of technology to
improve processing efficiency. The concept also covers improvements to
the way rollovers are processed and the way that contributions are made.
AustSafe Super successfully implemented a number of the Government
prescribed SuperStream data and payment standards to provide for a
more timely and efficient processing of superannuation rollovers from
fund to fund.
AustSafe Super is also preparing for the employer-related SuperStream
standards that will come into effect during the 2014/2015 financial year.
Employers making SG contributions on behalf of their employees will need
to comply with the new data and payment standards of SuperStream, which
aims to provide employers with a consistent, reliable electronic method for
making contributions and sending information to super funds.
Medium to large employers (20 or more employees) have until
30 June 2015 to meet the SuperStream requirements when sending
superannuation contributions on behalf of employees. Small employers
(less than 20 employees) have until 30 June 2016 to meet these
requirements.
AustSafe Super has already introduced its Clearing House facility,
QuickSuper, to allow employers to comply with these new requirements
and to pay employees’ super electronically to AustSafe Super and other
funds in one transaction and has been providing assistance to any
employers wanting to use the service.
QuickSuper does all the hard work for you electronically!
Fund 4
Fund 5
MySuper (Balanced)
Investment Option
The MySuper (Balanced) Investment Option is
now AustSafe Super’s default option for Industry
Super and Personal Super members. When
establishing the MySuper product, there was
no change to the way in which this option was
invested, or to the fees charged to members.
The AustSafe Super Pension product was not
affected by the MySuper changes and the
relevant investment option is still known as the
Balanced Investment Option.
Bank Cash Investment Option
The Bank Cash Investment Option was closed
to all members on 6 December 2013 and any
existing members’ investments were transferred
to the AustSafe Super Cash Investment Option.
This option was structured to similarly achieve
constant stable returns with low volatility and a
lower investment management cost.
Fund 6
The CRF Capital Stable Investment Option, a
conservative investment strategy which expects
stable but moderate returns, will be available
to all members from 17 November 2014. The
AustSafe Super Investment Choice Guide
provides details of the CRF Capital Stable
Investment Option, including its investment
objective, timeframe and target asset allocation.
“To meet the SuperStream obligations, we wanted a resource to
simplify our processes. Using multiple online super systems and
payment methods such as cheque, EFT and direct debit was very
time consuming.”
With the help of local Regional Manager, Bruce Waltisbuhl and
the staff at AustSafe Super, Michelle found the transition to
QuickSuper easy and straight forward.
“The authorisation and payment process is simplified – all we
need to do is make one transaction to authorise and pay super to
employees.”
“Bruce is always ready to help with any super questions either from
myself or employees, and if he hasn’t been able to answer my
questions, he goes out of his way to ensure someone at AustSafe
Super can assist me.”

“It’s good to know that Stahmann Farms is now compliant with
SuperStream’s data and payment standards.”
AustSafe Super is Stahmann Farm’s default fund for any new or
existing employees who don’t select their own super fund.
“We chose AustSafe Super as our default fund as it’s the Industry
based fund for agriculture and has a history of looking after its
members.”

Investment Overview
Investment Overview
Investment Overview
Simon Mather
Head of Investment’s Commentary
The global markets continued to gradually recover over the
2013/14 financial year, with strong returns from most asset
classes. The Australian and International Equity markets delivered
double digit returns, for the second year in a row.
This strong performance from equities benefited the AustSafe
Super MySuper (Balanced) Investment Option, which returned
12.62% for Accumulation members and the Balanced Investment
Option, which returned 13.17% for Pension members.
During the financial year, the Trustee of AustSafe Super continued
to feel there was better value in International Equities as growth,
although gradual, in the global economies continued. The Trustee
maintained the Fund’s increased allocation to International
Equities and decreased allocation to Australian Equities. This
helped the Fund’s overall performance as growth in the global
economy helped International Equities outperform Australian
Equities during the financial year.
The Fund’s allocation to fixed interest and infrastructure also
contributed to the strong performance of the Fund and helped
reduce overall volatility.
The fall in the Australian dollar during the first six months of the
financial year against the US dollar made a positive contribution
to performance of the Fund. However, during the last six months
of the financial year, the strength in the Australia dollar moderately
impacted performance of overseas assets.
Cash rates in Australia
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) lowered the official cash rate
during the financial year by 0.25% (to 2.50%), due to concerns
of below trend growth, higher unemployment and the effect of
inflationary pressures on the economy.
In a continued environment of low interest rates, equities paying
higher levels of income were once again sought after by investors
during the financial year. The sectors which performed strongly
were technology, materials, energy and financials.
Global events
Globally, markets experienced strong returns for the year with
a number of key events impacting the global recovery both
positively and negatively:
§§ In July 2013, global bond markets were impacted by
comments from the US Federal Reserve, stating tapering
of monetary stimulus was likely to happen sooner than
expected.
§§ In October 2013, the US Government went into partial
shutdown for 16 days as Congress failed to reach an
agreement to approve Government spending.
§§ In January 2014, the US Government started tapering its
monthly stimulus by $US10 billion to $US75 billion.
§§ In February 2014, concerns intensified about China’s shadow
banking system after the Chinese Government allowed a
default by one of its lenders raising worries of more to follow.
§§ In March 2014, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand became
the first developed economy to raise its official interest rate
since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
§§ In June 2014, the European Central Bank introduced negative
deposit rates in a bid to make it less attractive for people
to save and more attractive to borrow. At the same time the
Bank of England signalled the likelihood of an interest rate
rise later in 2014.
Events likely to affect ongoing
investor sentiment and
confidence
The outlook for the global economy is of continued improvement
over the 2014/15 financial year, led by stronger growth in the
advanced economies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF)
forecasts global economic growth to average around 3.4% in
2014 and 4.0% in 2015. As conditions continue to recover in
the global economy, more central banks are expected to start to
increase interest rates, although only gradually. The US Federal
Reserve is expected to keep rates unchanged during 2014, with
the first increase expected late 2015 and its monthly stimulus
program may cease as early as the end of 2014.
The rally in global equity markets over the past financial year
has pushed a number of these above their estimated fair value.
Consequently, moderate returns are expected in 2014/15, and
are dependent on the recovery in global economies, a catalyst to
improving company earnings.
In Australia, the RBA forecasts that growth will pick up in 2014,
however, the slowdown in mining investment could weigh on
prospects for growth during 2014/15. Lower interest rates will
likely continue to fuel housing market activity and household
debt, however, consumer spending is likely to be constrained
by softer labour market conditions. For the Australian economy
to continue to improve and transition away from a mining led
economy an improvement is required in non-mining business
sectors.
AustSafe Super’s long
term view
Despite expectations that there will likely be periods of
uncertainty in the Australian and global economies, AustSafe
Super continues to focus on managing investments for the
longer-term, while looking for any short-term opportunities
that will potentially add value for members. Accordingly the
Trustee is currently looking beyond traditional asset classes for
opportunities to support investment returns for members.
Local economy is not all it seems
The Trustee has considered for some time that there have been headwinds facing
the Australian economy. These headwinds include the reduction in mining related
investment, Australia’s competitiveness with the rest of the world and the high
Australian dollar.
China, Australia’s biggest export market, has shown some signs of slowdown
in growth particularly in Fixed Asset Investment (FAI) such as infrastructure and
property. Australia’s two biggest exports, iron ore and coal, have been the main
beneficiaries of China’s FAI but as China starts to move more towards a consumer
driven growth story, this is likely to put further downward pressure on the local
economy.
For the Australian economy to continue to grow the transition away from
the mining investment boom will require a significant pick-up in non-mining
business sectors. There are some early indicators the outlook is improving,
but improvement in competitiveness, profitability and a sustained period of
low interest rates will be essential for the recovery to gain hold. The Reserve
Bank of Australia (RBA) has left interest rates at 2.5% since August 2013, when
rates decreased by 0.25% following concerns of below trend growth and rising
unemployment. The RBA has stated their desire, on more than one occasion that
the Australian dollar needs to weaken from current levels. However, the longer the
US Federal Reserve pacifies the market with expectations that rates in the US will
stay lower for longer makes it harder for the RBA to manage. The strong Australian
dollar has been led by the strong demand from overseas investors for higher
yielding Australian assets such as, fixed interest and higher yielding shares.
The Australian Federal Budget released in May 2014 included tough measures to
reduce Australia’s deficit, estimated to be $29.8 billion, or 1.8% of gross domestic
product (GDP). While this seems a significant deficit, it’s an improvement on the
$49.9 billion, or 3.1% of GDP estimated for the 2013/14 financial year. The impact
on the economy from deficit reduction measures is estimated at around 0.5%
for both 2014/15 and 2015/16 financial years. While this reduction in growth is
not insignificant, it’s unlikely to be enough to alter the RBA’s views on current
monetary policy.
Future environment for members
The Trustee’s expectation is that economic growth may be subdued, and going
forward this will likely lead to a reduction in the significant returns experienced
from asset classes over the last two years. In a low growth low return environment,
the Trustee is conscious not to purchase assets outside of the Fund’s risk appetite
and to actively manage the current allocation of assets, while looking for new
assets at attractive valuations.
This article has been prepared and issued by Austsafe Pty Ltd the Trustee of AustSafe Super. While it has
been prepared with all reasonable care, no responsibility or liability is accepted for any errors, omissions or
misstatements however caused. All forecasts and estimates are based on assumptions. If those assumptions
change, our forecasts and estimates may also change. The opinions in this article are those of Simon Mather,
Head of Investments.
AustSafe Super’s
commitment to
members
The Trustee believes the best way
to deal with uncertainties in the
local and global economies is to
maintain a diversified portfolio of
assets for members. Over the last 18
months, the Trustee has maintained
the Fund’s aggregate allocation to
equities. However, given the ongoing
concerns surrounding the local
economy, an increased allocation
of International Equities and lower
allocation of Australian Equities has
been maintained.
The Fund also invests, through a
number of Investment Managers, in
infrastructure and property. These
assets provide two sources of return,
growth and income. The income yield
combined with the unlisted nature
of the investments reduces volatility,
and can provide a more stable return
profile than listed equities. Currently,
there are limited opportunities
to purchase property assets at
reasonable valuations and vacancy
rates are forecast to increase. This
has meant that the Fund has a lower
allocation to property opposed to its
long-term asset allocation.

Investment Objectives and Strategies
Investment Objectives and Strategies
Investment Objectives and Strategies
Investment strategy
Investment options
In formulating, reviewing and giving effect to the investment
strategy, the Trustee considers the whole of the Fund and
each investment option with the target to maximise benefits
available to members and to comply with all applicable legislative
requirements. The Fund’s investments are managed having
regard to the risks involved in making, holding and realising
investments, and the extent to which the composition of the
Fund’s investments provides diversity. They are also managed
with a view to ensuring that there is sufficient liquidity to meet
expected cash flow requirements and the ability to meet existing
and prospective liabilities. The Trustee also has regards to the
availability of reliable valuation information in relation to the
investments covered by its strategy, the costs that might be
incurred and other relevant matters.
AustSafe Super offers nine investment options, across a range
of investment types in order to provide choices to best suit
members’ needs with differing return and risk tolerances and
preferences. The Trustee engages JANA Investment Advisers
Pty Ltd to assist in setting investment objectives and managing
investments to meet them, while remaining within the agreed
asset allocation ranges.
Investment objectives for each investment option are available on
pages 26-29.
How investments are managed
In order to achieve specified return and risk targets the Trustee
sets and continually monitors the strategic asset allocation for
each of the Fund’s ready-made options in line with their long
term objectives and determines acceptable ranges for each
of the options. The Trustee utilises investments in Australian
Equities, International Equities, Property, Infrastructure, Growth
Alternatives and Defensive Alternatives, Fixed Interest and Cash
in constructing investment options. The Fund internally manages
the placement of funds in Term Deposits with Approved Deposittaking Institutions (the Cash asset class).
The Trustee does not require its appointed Investment Managers
to consider labour standards or environmental, social and ethical
investment considerations when choosing how to invest your
Super.
Investment specialists that
assist AustSafe Super
The Trustee retains the services of a professional investment
consultant JANA Investment Advisers Pty Ltd, to provide
guidance in the selection of Investment Managers who then
invest the assets of the Fund within specified limits. The Fund
employs Investment Managers with the objective of actively
seeking investment returns to at least meet each option’s return
objective within agreed risk parameters.
The Fund may employ specialist Investment Managers for
specific asset sectors and may also undertake tactical asset
allocation management. The Fund may also employ passive
Investment Managers in those asset classes where the expected
return after fees from active management is not sufficient to
justify the risks taken or where a core return, supplemented by
active management, is required.
The Standard Risk Measure is not a complete assessment of all
forms of investment risk. For instance, it does not detail what the
size of a negative return could be, or the potential for a positive
return to be less than you may require to meet your objectives.
Also, it does not take into account the impact of administration
fees and tax on the likelihood of a negative return. You need to
ensure you are comfortable with the risks and potential losses
associated with your chosen investment option/s.

The Standard Risk Measure used for each of our investment
options on pages 26-29 of this Annual Report have been
calculated by JANA Investment Advisers Pty Ltd and reviewed
and adopted by AustSafe Super.
The Fund does not directly invest in derivatives (eg. Futures and
Options). However, Investment Managers are permitted to use
Futures, Options and other derivative instruments to assist with
the effective management of the Fund’s assets.
How investment earnings are
applied to members’ account
The investment strategy for reserves is the strategy for the
MySuper (Balanced) Investment Option, which is reviewed as part
of the annual review of the Fund’s investment strategy.
About earning rates
When a member leaves the Fund
The Trustee expects, over the long term, the use of these
instruments to enhance the returns and manage risks on the
Fund’s assets. However, over the short term, the effect on
investment returns is expected to vary.
The Trustee is satisfied that each Investment Manager’s derivative
risk statement is consistent with the requirements of AustSafe
Super’s investment policy.
How we measure risk
AustSafe Super uses a Standard Risk Measure to describe the
risk that applies to each of our investment options. The Standard
Risk Measure is based on industry guidance to allow you to
compare investment options that are expected to have a similar
risk of negative annual returns over any 20 year period.
Each investment option is given a risk label as outlined in the
table below.
For example, the Standard Risk Measure for the MySuper
(Balanced) Investment Option detailed on page 26, is ‘High’ as
the estimated likelihood of a negative annual return is currently
4.1 years in every 20 years.

The Trustee calculates the earnings (or returns) on the assets
that make up each of the Fund’s investment options each week.
As part of the calculations, the fees and taxes that apply to the
investments are deducted to obtain the net earnings. At the
same time, the Fund also takes out the 0.09% p.a. member
administration fee. The final result each week is called the ‘weekly
earning rate’ and one is produced for each investment option.
A weekly earning rate for an investment option can be positive or
negative, depending on how the investments that make up each
option’s portfolio have performed for that week.
Investment earnings are added (or deducted if earnings are
negative) to members’ account as at 30 June each year or when
members exit the Fund. Members’ earnings are calculated by
applying the weekly earning rates to members’ daily account
balance. Members’ account balances will have administration
fees and if applicable, any taxes and insurance premiums
deducted from it.
The Fund’s weekly earning rates are available at austsafe.com.au.

It takes around 10 days for the weekly earning rates for each

are two steps to calculating members’ earnings when benefits
are paid.

First, the Fund uses the weekly earning rates for a member’s
investment option/s for each full week of earnings the Fund has.
Second, for the remaining days (between the end of the week
that the Fund has final earning rates for and the day the Fund
pays your benefit) the Fund uses an interim rate. This interim rate
is fixed each quarter and based on the interest rate of the Fund’s
operating bank account.
*Subject to audit confirmation
When a member leaves the Fund during the financial year,
earnings are applied to their account for the period they were a
member of the Fund. Earnings are applied using the earning rate
for each complete week and an interim earning rate for the period
from the last earning rate to the day of exit.

A number of professional service providers assist us with
our operations. If we contract a service provider to provide a
business activity that is or could be undertaken by us in house
(i.e. performed by Trustee Office staff), this is referred to as
‘outsourcing’. For outsourcing of any material business activity
such as Administration, we must follow our Outsourcing Policy
which requires the completion of due diligence on the proposed
service provider and regular monitoring.
The Trustee also has a responsibility to ensure that its
arrangements with service providers and other associations do
not influence the financial services we provide. We do not believe
that our arrangements with any of the entities cited below or any
other service providers we use influence in any way the financial
services we provide to our members. Each service provider
is selected on its ability to perform relevant activities and is
monitored on a regular basis.
Administration
We contract Superpartners Pty Ltd (ABN 57 078 907 883) to
provide administration and call centre services to our members.
We pay Superpartners a fee for these services.
Insurer
AustSafe Super’s members’ insurance is provided by
CommInsure (a registered business name of The Colonial Mutual
Life Assurance Society Limited ABN 12 04 021 809).
Financial Planning
AustSafe Super has put in place an arrangement with Industry
Fund Services Limited (AFSL 232514, ABN 54 007 016 195)
so that personal financial planning advice can be provided to
AustSafe Super members on our behalf. No commissions are
paid to Industry Fund Services Limited by AustSafe Super.
Other key service providers are:
Auditor
BDO Audit (QLD) Pty Ltd
Tax Advisers
BDO QLD Pty Ltd
Ernst and Young
Investment Consultant
JANA Investment Advisers Pty Ltd
Custodian
National Asset Servicing (National Australia Bank Limited)
Eligible Rollover Fund
From time to time the Trustee may transfer inactive or low
account balances to an Eligible Rollover Fund called Australian
Unclaimed Superannuation Fund (AusFund). (As a guide, this
might be an account balance under $1,000 or an account that
has been inactive for over 12 months).
If your account balance is transferred, you will not have access
to any of AustSafe Super’s benefits such as insurance. If your
current address is on our records, you will be contacted in writing
before your balance is transferred.
