Interpretation

In this and the next Schedule

calculated 30 June ROR means the ROR as at 30 June, (or, in the case only of the Victorian Independent Schools Superannuation Fund, as at 31 July) calculated by APRA in accordance with the ROR Methodology set out below.

ROR is short for rate of return.

ROR publication means APRA’s publication Superannuation Fund Level Rates of Return.

_{ROR Methodology:}

ROR is calculated as:            ROR =      Net earnings after tax

Cash flow adjusted net assets

For superannuation funds with a non-30 June balance date, the calculated 30 June ROR will be calculated using annual (SRF 200.0) and quarterly (SRF 100.0) return data.

It is important to note that net earnings after tax and net flows data is reported on a year-to- date (YTD) basis in the quarterly returns. Additionally, the beginning net assets will be taken from the net assets at the end of the reporting period (SRF 100.0, item 23 + SRF 100.0, item

23.1) as reported in the quarterly return for period end 30 June of the previous financial year.

Below is an example of how the ROR at 30 June 2009 will be calculated for a fund with a 31

December balance date:
