Active Super offers members the choice of five pre-made investment options. These options invest your super in different ways, depending on the level of risk you're comfortable with and the length of your investment time frame.
Investment option | Risk level | About this portfolio |
---|---|---|
High Growth | Medium to High | The majority of your balance will be invested in Australian and international shares, which are high growth assets and also high risk. You'll also have a small portion of your balance invested in direct property and private equity. This option is designed for members with a longer investment time frame. |
Balanced | Medium | This option is a balance of High Growth and Conservative. About 30% of your balance is invested shares, with almost half your balance invested in defensive assets. |
Conservative | Low | This option is much lower risk than the previous options, with about 60-70% of your balance invested in defensive assets instead of growth assets. This option still has some exposure to shares, however, it's only about 10% of your balance. This option is designed to protect your super from short-term market volatility. |
Managed Cash | Very Low | This is the lowest-risk investment option, and it invests your full balance is cash products. This option doesn't seek any growth, but instead aims to keep the money in your super secure. This option is designed for members with a very short investment time frame (e.g. if you've already retired). |
