Significant
Event notices (SENS)

Hostplus will always advise its investors about any material changes to the Hostplus PST. A change or event could include any decisions that will affect an investors investment, including a change to fees and costs or changes to the product offering.

The key message announcing the decisions and impact is referred to as a Significant Event Notice (SEN) which is sent to affected investors. Hostplus aim is to provide information to investors in a clear, concise manner that will enable them to understand the nature of the change or event and the effect it could have on them.

  • A change or event which is an increase in fees or charges will be sent at least 30 days before the change takes effect.‍
  • A change or event which is not an increase in fees or charges will be sent as soon as possible but not later than three months after the change takes effect.
  • A change that is not an increase in fees or charges and Hostplus reasonably believes is not adverse to an investor’s interest, or that an investor would not be affected by a delay in receiving the information, will be sent within 12 months of the change taking effect.
