More details on Spaceship Super investment options
Spaceship offers two investment options to help you build towards your financial goals for retirement. Check out the tables below for a full run-down of the features of Spaceship's GrowthX and Global Index investment options.
Investment option | Risk level | Asset allocation |
---|---|---|
GrowthX This option may suit investors who are willing to accept a higher level of risk to achieve increased returns over the longer term, with some volatility in the short term. This investment option has a strong focus on Australian and global shares. | High risk (level 6) |
|
Global Index This option may also suit investors who are willing to accept a higher level of risk, more exposure to international stocks and want a passive investment option. It invests heavily in indexed global equities (around 80%) and Australian shares (10%), and has slightly lower fees than the GrowthX option. | High risk (level 6) |
|
Balanced This option still invests quite heavily into growth assets, however has more exposure to defensive assets than the GrowthX and Global Index options. Again, investors will need to be comfortable taking a higher level of short-term risk to potentially achieve greater returns over the longer term. | Medium to High (level 5) |
|
Moderate This option has the greatest level of exposure to defensive assets and is designed for those wanting a more equal allocation between growth and defensive assets within a diversified portfolio. | Medium (level 4) |
