Tasplan Performance
As of 31 March 2010, Tasplan converted from a crediting rate method to a unitised method for recording members' investments in the Fund. This means that your account balance and transactions into and out of your account will be shown in 'units' as well as dollars (rather than the account balance being calculated using the declared crediting rate). Tasplan will publish a weekly unit price which can be used to estimate the value of your account at any time.
Tasplan performance over various periods is detailed in the table below.
