- One or more single asset options (investment options with only one type of asset, for example Australian shares) or,
- A combination of diversified and single asset options.1
Who is this suitable for?
A hands on, do it yourself investor, or someone who wants more control over where their super is invested.

MySuper Lifecycle investment approach
Aware Super’s MySuper Lifecycle approach takes the guesswork out of making an investment choice.
We tailor investments to your age and stage of life. This means we focus on growing your super while you’re younger. Then we gradually reduce the level of investment risk as you get closer to retirement age.
Your investments gradually shift from higher risk growth assets like shares, to a more balanced mix of growth and defensive assets.

Member testimony:
It’s fantastic that once you get to a certain age group [Aware Super] moves you to a less risky investment portfolio, so you don’t lose it all if markets crash. I love that it’s a given and I don’t need to worry.
