Investment options

GROW offers eight core investment options, including a MySuper product, and five Tactical Tilt options. Core options are managed on your behalf, and you can select one based on your risk appetite and asset allocation preferences. Tactical Tilt options can be added to your investment to work in conjunction with your chosen core option. You must have at least 85% of your investment in a core option with a maximum of 15% in Tactical Tilt options.

See details of the various investment options in the following tables. GROW Super is a new product so past performance data is not yet available.
