Members can choose between these pre-mixed, diversified investment options depending on the level of risk you want to take on.
Investment option | Risk level | Target asset allocation |
---|---|---|
RetireStable This portfolio has a low level of exposure to shares and property, and is designed for members close to or in retirement. | Medium |
|
RetirePlus This portfolio is also designed for members close to or in retirement, or members with a low risk tolerance. However, it has a bit more exposure to growth assets like shares than the RetireStable option. | Medium |
|
Conservative This option has the lowest level of investment risk and invests largely in fixed interest and cash. It's designed for members looking to protect their balance, with some growth over the medium term. | Medium |
|
Balanced This option aims for a balance between capital growth and capital stability, with an even split between growth and defensive assets. It aims to achieve growth with less volatility. | Medium to High |
|
Balanced Plus This option has a slightly higher allocation towards growth assets including shares compared to the Balanced option. | Medium to High |
|
Balanced Growth (MySuper) This is the default investment option designed to suit most members over the age of 51. It's where you'll be invested if you don't make an investment preference and you're aged 51 or older. | High |

Growth This option aims for growth over the medium to long term by investing more heavily in Australian and international shares. | High |

Growth Plus (MySuper) This is the default investment option for members under 51, unless you choose otherwise. It is the highest risk option and aims for better long term growth, with more investment in shares and property. | High |
|
PositiveIMPACT This option sits between the Balanced Growth (MySuper) and Growth Plus (MySuper) options in terms of risk level. What's different about this option is that it invests in companies with a focus on the environment. | High |
