Overview

Our High Growth Indexed option is a low-cost diversified option that invests mostly in Australian and international shares. However, there are small allocations to fixed income (bonds) and cash. Apart from cash, the asset classes within this option are passively managed. 

This option is not available to members with a Retirement Income account.

Why you’d invest

This might be a suitable option if you:
 

  • are seeking to maximise your long-term returns via a low-cost passively managed investment option,
  • can accept significant fluctuations in returns. This includes years when returns are negative, and
  • are prepared to stay invested in the option for 10 years or longer.

Understanding passive management

Passive managers choose investments to form a portfolio that closely tracks a benchmark. A benchmark is a hypothetical portfolio of investment holdings. It represents a segment of a particular financial market. A benchmark (also known as an index) tracks the performance of a selected group of investments such as shares or bonds. Passive managers are sometimes known as index managers. They usually charge lower fees.

Note: Returns at market extremes will generally be greater (positive and negative) for the Indexed options compared to the equivalent Core and Socially Conscious options. This is because the Indexed style is less diversified (by asset class, investment style and managers).
