1 Master Your Super
4 Steps
- Find the investment strategy used by your investment option.
The majority of MySuper and default investment options use a Balanced investment strategy, which has around 70% invested in higher risk growth assets (shares and property) and 30% invested in defensive assets (cash and fixed interest).
Your current investment option may use a different investment strategy, particularly if you are older or selected your own investment option. - Check the objective for your investment option.
These are usually something like beating the CPI (inflation) by a specified percentage over the medium or long term. If you are in a MySuper product, you could also search for the product dashboard on the fund’s website. Decide whether the objective and level of risk set for your investment option is right for you.
Compare how your investment option has performed compared with the same investment option for similar super funds.
