Members can choose between these 5 pre-mixed, diversified investment options depending on the level of risk you want to take on. If you don't make an investment choice, you'll be placed in the Balanced (MySuper) option.
| Investment option | Risk level | Target asset allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative This option has the lowest level of investment risk and invests largely in fixed interest and cash, with very low exposure to shares. It's designed for members looking to protect their balance, with some growth over the medium term. | Low to Medium |
|
| Moderate This option has a more even balance between growth and defensive assets compared to the Conservative option. It still has low exposure to shares. | Medium |
|
| Balanced (MySuper) This is the default investment option designed to suit most members. It's where you'll be invested if you don't make an investment preference. It has a focus on growth over the medium to long term, with around 20-30% allocation to defensive assets to reduce the risk of large market fluctuations. | Medium to High |
|
| Sustainable This option has the same allocation to growth and defensive assets as the default MySuper option, with a similar level of exposure to shares. However, this option applies a range of ethical screens to investments. | Medium to High |
|
| Growth This option provides more allocation to growth assets than the previous options, and may suit members looking for more exposure to shares. It's designed for members with a longer investment timeframe of at least 10 years, or members with a higher risk tolerance. | High |

i want to early release superannuation
Hi Fernando,
Thanks for your comment.
There are actually certain limited circumstances as to when you’re able to access your super early. As a general rule, you can only access it if you reach your preservation age (between 55 and 60 years, depending on your date of birth) and meet a condition of release. You’ll learn more about this from the link above. If you need direct advice, you can also contact your super regarding this.
Cheers,
May
