Disclaimer:

Past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future performance and return periods may differ. In particular, the target asset allocation of the CashPlus Fund (formerly known as the Defensive Fund) changed from 25% cash and 75% fixed income to 100% cash and cash equivalents in May 2025, so future returns will differ significantly from prior periods. All returns are after fees and before taxes. Generate 10 year returns as at 31st May 2025. 10 and 5-year returns are not available for the Generate CashPlus, Conservative and Balanced Funds, as these funds only launched in May 2022. 10, 5 and 3-year returns are not available for the Generate Australasian, Thematic and Global Funds, as these funds only launched in April 2025.
