How do we invest your money?

We’ve designed an efficient and well-diversified portfolio that adjusts according to your age.

Your Lifestage Fund aims to achieve an appropriate level of risk and return by automatically adjusting the mix of assets throughout your life.

When you’re younger and have more time to withstand rises and falls in the value of your investment, your Lifestage Fund will be more growth oriented to target a higher return.

Over time the fund will gradually shift to a more conservative asset mix by reducing its allocation of growth assets – such as shares and property – and increasing its allocation of defensive assets – such as fixed interest and cash.

However if you prefer to have more control, you can choose your own investment mix once you have opened your super account.
