BUSSQ offers two types of investment options: the Balanced Growth (MySuper) diversified option and single-asset-class Flex options. If you don't want to choose an option, your super will be invested in the Balanced Growth investment option which is a MySuper-authorised fund.
BUSSQ's diversified pre-mixed option is Balanced Growth, which spreads your super across a mix of growth and defensive assets (including Australian and international shares, property, infrastructure and fixed interest) to provide broad diversification in a single option. It's the fund's default (MySuper) option, designed for members with an investment timeframe of at least 5 years.
If you want more control, BUSSQ's Foundation + Flex approach lets you add single-asset-class options (such as cash, bonds or shares) on top of Balanced Growth to shift your mix towards a more defensive or growth-focused position.
For BUSSQ's current asset allocation figures for Balanced Growth and its other investment options, see BUSSQ's investment options page.
These options are single asset class portfolios. You decide how much you want to invest in each of the options listed below. The Bonds option isn't covered by the comparison table above.
