Cheques are on the way out

Tue, 01 Aug 2023

With the ongoing decline in cheque usage, our transaction service provider, Bendigo Bank, is working towards phasing out cheques.

Australia’s payment landscape is changing. More Australians are leaving behind their chequebooks and choosing simpler, more reliable and immediate electronic payments. This decline has led to Bendigo Bank introducing some changes to the way cheque payments are supported.

The following changes will apply:

For new accounts

  • From 1 August 2023 - cheque books will not be available on new accounts opened by new or existing customers.

For existing accounts - cheque book replacement

  • From 1 September 2023 - we will no longer automatically issue you a replacement cheque book once you exhaust your existing cheque book. If you would like a replacement cheque book you will need to contact us or visit a branch of Bendigo Bank and request a replacement cheque book.
  • From 1 November 2023 - replacement cheque books will no longer be available to order on existing accounts. Customers with existing cheque books will be able to retain these and continue to use as normal until otherwise advised.

Additional Investments

  • From 29 September 2023 - cheques will no longer be accepted for additional investments into the Adelaide Cash Management Trust (ACMT).
  • From 28 October 2023 - cheques will no longer be accepted for additional investments into the Sandhurst Cash Common Fund (CCF).

Alternatively, additional investments can be made by BPAY or direct debit.

Withdrawal Requests

  • From 28 October 2023 - we will no longer be posting cheques for payment of withdrawal requests from the Sandhurst Cash Common Fund (CCF).

Withdrawals can be paid by direct credit to your nominated account. Additionally, you can use online and phone banking, debit cards (for ACMT only) and third party direct debit services of Bendigo Bank. Please refer to the most up to date Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) at the time you are making a withdrawal for more information.

As we move towards the overall removal of cheques as a payment service, we will keep you updated on the timing of any additional changes.

 

Important information regarding the Sandhurst Cash Common Fund (CCF)

Wed, 07 Jun 2023

Sandhurst has identified that from March 2022 to October 2022, the fees and costs disclosed in the transaction statement message ‘Fees and costs deducted from your investment’ was inaccurate.

This is a disclosure error only and did not impact the actual fees and costs CCF investors paid to Sandhurst.

A summary of what was presented on your statement and what was actually being charged is tabled below:

Period Fees and costs deducted from your investment as disclosed in your transaction statement Actual fees and costs deducted from your investment
March 2022 0.182% p.a. Estimate 0.25% p.a.
April 2022 0.182% p.a. Estimate 0.36% p.a.
May 2022 0.182% p.a. Estimate 0.53% p.a.

Bendigo Super 2021/22 - Year in Review

Thu, 01 Sep 2022

Join chief executive officer Justin Hoare and chief investment officer Thad McCrindle to reflect on the 2021/22 financial year.

Load video
Bendigo Super 2021/22 Year in Review
Bendigo Super 2021/22 Year in Review

I’m Justin Hoare, Chief Executive Officer of Bendigo Superannuation.

And I’m Thad McCrindle, Chief Investment Officer.

The last financial year was a big one for our fund. 

On the 1st May 2022, we welcomed Bendigo Superannuation as our new trustee.

Bendigo Superannuation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, and prides itself on looking after our members’ best interests. 

During the last financial year, we welcomed more than 2,200 new members and I thank those members for choosing us. That took us to over 19,600 members in total, making up 1.48 billion in funds under administration.

Importantly 2,000 members chose to make a voluntary contribution to us, over and above what is required. We also made payments to more than 2,500 members to enable them to enjoy their retirement.

I understand that many of you might be nervous about market movements in Australia and globally. Please rest assured, that we have a team of specialist focused on ensuring that your investments are well looked after.

I will now handover to Thad to talk a little bit more about that. 

We’ve seen volatile markets in the new year, really driven by interest rates and the war in the Ukraine. Both of these were quite unexpected and that has resulted in negative returns across most investments. For example, Australian shares as measured by the ASX 200 was down about 6.5% for the financial year.  

And in contrast, the economy’s been performing well. Unemployment is the lowest it’s been in almost 50 years.

So the war in Ukraine has interrupted food and energy supplies. These price rises plus others have led to the highest inflation we’ve seen in almost 20 years. Early in 2022 the Reserve Bank of Australia reversed course and began raising interest rates rapidly. This is likely to continue given the level of inflation and strong employment conditions.

Investment market volatility has led to negative returns in Shares and Bonds and a reduction in many superannuation members’ balances.

My team manages each investment option and pleasingly we’ve been conservatively positioned for the recent market volatility. We will adjust from this conservative positioning when we believe the outlook is improving.

Investment returns over the long term are higher when prices fall. Despite negative returns in the past 6 months, long-term returns for all of the investment options on Bendigo Smart Super remain positive. The Bendigo Growth Index Fund, our most popular investment option, has returned 8.54% over the past 10 years.

It’s understandable you may be worried about your superannuation investment balance, but it’s important to remember that superannuation is a long-term investment that is generally only accessible in retirement. Therefore, it’s important you make sure, that your investment options suit your personal needs and risk appetite. Letting compounding do its work.

As custodians of your retirement savings, we want to make sure we’re here to support you. Support that will not only maximise your retirement outcomes, but will also help your overall financial wellbeing.

Our online Education Hub is a great place to get you started. It includes educational articles to help support you in maximising your retirement savings.

Or, if you prefer to speak to someone, you can request a call from one of our wealth specialists.

Our next Annual Member Meeting will be held in February 2023, where you have the opportunity to hear us in a live online forum. All members will receive an invite later in the year, please don’t forget to register. We look forward to giving further update then.

Important information about the Adelaide Cash Management Trust (CMT)

Fri, 03 Jun 2022

The management fee for your CMT will increase from 0.26% p.a. to 0.50% p.a. effective 4 July 2022.

Between May 2019 and March 2020, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) reduced the official cash rate from 1.50% to 0.10%.  As a result of this Sandhurst Trustees Limited (Sandhurst) temporarily reduced the management fee to ensure investors continued to receive a return above the cash rate.

The RBA increased the official cash rate in May 2022 for the first time in over 11 years and after a careful review Sandhurst has made the decision to return the management fee to 0.50% p.a. in accordance with what it was earning prior to the rate reductions in 2020.

Sandhurst are committed to delivering competitive returns to investors.  This fee change will assist in covering the costs incurred in managing the Fund and to ensure it remains financially sustainable.

If you have any questions, please call our Client Services Team on 1800 224 124 or email us at managedfunds@sandhursttrustees.com.au

Year in review 2019/2020 – hear from our Chief Investment Officer

Fri, 31 Jul 2020

Superannuation and Managed Funds

Sandhurst Trustees Superannuation and Managed Funds invest in various market sectors (eg: shares, property, cash) which are being impacted by the current environment.  However, the market volatility we are experiencing and may continue to experience in the short-term, is a normal response to a significant economic event. Have a listen to our Chief Investment Officer talk a little more about this and the impact it has had regarding our Funds.

Load video

Hi, I'm Thad McCrindle. I'm the Chief Investment Officer for Sandhurst Trustees. I run the investment team. We're doing a video today to talk a bit about the economy and our funds. How they would have been and some outlook, as we move from one financial year into a new one.

The obvious place to start in this kind of update would be to talk about COVID-19. I'm not a health expert, so I'm not going to talk about the specifics of the virus. But what I will say is there's been a big impact on economies. Obviously, a big impact on health of individuals and a lot of impact on work practises and really how the economy functions. The markets reacted quite negatively to this event in March and that's a follow on after the devastation of the bush fires in Australia in summer.

We see those coming together. Whilst we did have a lot of government stimulus to try to counteract the unemployment and I guess the impacts on small business, in particular, the result of all that is we end up with the first recession in 30 years here in Australia. Now, that's pretty negative. If I talk about markets, it was a bit of a roller coaster ride. We had pretty strong returns early in the year. In fact, all the way through to February 2020, when I'm talking about the financial year, of course. In March, as I said before, quite a sharp sell-off. Global equities were up almost 20% before that sell-off and they finished up 4% for the year. In Australia, the markets didn't fare as well. We had some more headwinds and we finished down 8% and I'm talking about equities or shares in that example. Something you'll probably all be familiar with is interest rates. They fell 1% through the year as the Reserve Bank of Australia moved to support the economy.

One of the really interesting aspects of the year gone is that defensive assets or more capital stable investments outperformed the riskier assets. Bonds, cash to term deposits, those kinds of investments, were the strongest performers. When I look at the performance of our own funds, we see, see that reflected. Those investments with more growth exposures, if I take the balance wholesale fund, for example, delivered about a one and a half percent return for the year. If I contrast that, at offensive index fund, which is mostly invested in bonds and cash, delivered about 3% returns for the year.

We're really pleased with our active managers. They managed to find the right kinds of investments to navigate pretty challenging conditions and they've added about one and a half percent this year. Now, if I think about the year ahead, I think that in the near term, we're probably going to have some more choppiness, some more uncomfortable moments, but probably some surprising moments.

It's unlikely that we've seen the end of COVID 19. Recession's ongoing and the case counts in recent days has hit all-time highs across the globe. This one isn't finished yet. That could scare markets and lead to lower returns. But on the other side, governments have really shown their appetite to support the economy and Central Banks like the Reserve Bank or the Federal Reserve in the United States have also shown a lot of support. When they move and when they support and react, that probably leads to better returns on things like shares. A bit up and down, now that suits what we do really well. We're quite a nimble agile investor and there are lots of opportunities or relative opportunities in that environment for us to capitalise on.

Probably the only thing I'd say with a bunch of conviction is, the conditions that probably will stand for the remainder of 2020 are not likely to lead to a big change in interest rates. They're close to the floor and it's very unlikely, there's good reasons for them to rise. I think if you've got a mortgage, if you invest in term deposits or other cash products, I think rates are unlikely to move materially from where they are at the moment.

I might finish with that and thank you all very much for your time. This video is the first in a series. We will keep you updated on markets, our funds and on some other things from time to time. Look out for more from me and probably some of my portfolio managers in the future. Hopefully, not in an abandoned warehouse-type situation, this building is next time. Thanks.

Managed Funds

In light of changing market conditions, Sandhurst managed fund transaction costs are being regularly reviewed. The first review was conducted in March 2020. During the review, we found a significant increase in market volatility has particularly impacted liquidity in fixed income markets. Reduced liquidity level has caused transaction costs to rise, which was more evident in sell spreads across our managed funds.

The 2018/19 financial year ended with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) lowering the cash rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 per cent. This cut did not come as a surprise. On 2 July 2019, RBA declared another 25 basis points cut and brought the cash rate down to historical low 1%. The two consecutive cuts were officially announced to boost employment and inflation, especially under the spill over effect of trade wars between U.S. and China and uncertainties surrounded around Brexit.
