Overview

Our High Growth option has a large allocation to growth assets like shares and private equity. It has a target split of 88% growth assets and 12% defensive assets. It's designed to make the most of the potential to grow members’ savings by maximising returns over the long term.

Future Saver members aged 55 and under are automatically invested in our High Growth option if they don’t make an investment choice. This is part of our MySuper Lifecycle approach.
