BUSSQ offers three types of investment options for you to choose from: MySuper, pre-mixed portfolios and asset class 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.
The pre-mixed portfolios each invest in a range of different asset classes. Some have a higher allocation towards growth assets (like shares and property) and therefore a higher risk level.
| Pre-mixed investment option | Risk level | Asset allocation (rough estimate) |
|---|---|---|
| High Growth This option is the highest risk level of all the pre-made options, with around 90% allocation to growth assets including local and international shares. It's designed for higher growth over the long term, and is suited for investors with a longer investment timeframe of at least 10 years. | High |
|
| Balanced Growth (MySuper option) This is the default investment option which all members will be placed in if you don't choose a different option after joining. It's designed for growth over the medium to long term, and designed for members with an investment timeframe of at least 5 years. It has a bit less exposure to growth assets compared to the High Growth option. | High |
|
| Defensive This option has the lowest risk level of all the pre-made options, with much less allocation to growth assets and higher exposure to defensive assets including fixed interest and cash. It's designed for investors with a shorter investment timeframe of around 3 years (e.g.: if you're closer to retirement) or those with a low risk tolerance. | Medium |
