How we invest

If you haven’t made an active investment choice2, we invest your super in the GoalTracker Investment Option.

The GoalTracker (MySuper) Investment Option automatically invests your super based on your age, through a diversified portfolio invested across a range of asset classes.

When you’re younger, your investment strategy will have a higher allocation to growth assets to help grow your super balance. To help protect your savings as you approach retirement, your allocation to defensive assets will increase.

 

Strong year for sharemarkets

The results for the GoalTracker Investment option were achieved over a strong year for sharemarkets, which added significant value to members accounts through double digit returns for global shares (both hedged and unhedged against the Australian dollar) as well as Australian shares#.

Markets continued to rally despite lingering fears of a global recession and stickier inflation in Australia. It’s looking more likely our central bank will be on hold before easing begins in 2025.

1 The default or MySuper investment option is generally considered a fair measure, as it’s built on the principle of providing a simple, cost-effective and balanced product to members invested in a default investment option.
