You can choose how your super is invested.
1. Let us invest your super based on your age
We'll do the hard work and invest your super based on your age in a Lifestage Fund. A Lifestage Fund is a well-diversified portfolio of assets designed and managed according to your age. Over time the fund will gradually shift to a more conservative asset mix. It generally does this by decreasing its allocation to growth assets and increasing its allocation to conservative assets.
2. Choose your own investment mix
If you prefer to choose your own investment mix, you can select from a range of investment options including diversified, specialist and sector-specific investment options.
