* As a result of an internal process review, the University has identified that Franking
Credits had not been included in Investment Portfolio earnings previously reported in
prior years. These Franking Credits are a valuable source of investment Income and
thus the University has moved to amend our reporting of Investment Earnings in 2010
which has been applied retrospectively to prior years.
Since inception the long term fund has returned an average of 9.17%
pa (including Franking Credits) of which 1.04% is capital growth
and 8.13% income yield. This average has met its 4% income yield
objective, but underperformed against its 4% growth target.
