Overview

Our Property option invests in a portfolio of property securities listed on global stock exchanges. The option is passively managed meaning it will closely match the benchmark, and its international investments are usually fully hedged, meaning they are protected against the impact of currency fluctuations.

Like shares, listed property securities are traded on public markets. Returns from listed property will therefore differ to those from unlisted property and are typically more volatile.

Why you’d invest

May suit members who:
 

  • want to invest in listed property at low cost,
  • seek strong long-term returns,
  • can accept the ups and downs of investing in the share market, including periods of negative returns, and
  • are prepared to stay invested in the option for 10 years or longer.

Understanding passive management

Passive managers, also known as index managers, choose investments to form a portfolio that closely tracks a market benchmark (or index). Passive managers usually charge lower fees because they don’t need extensive resources to select investments.

1 Includes ‘Investment fees and costs’ and ‘Transaction costs’, excludes ‘Administration fees’. Indicative only based on historical fee and cost data as at 30 June 2025. The amount you’ll pay in future years will depend on the fees and costs incurred by the trustee in managing the investment option. Other fees and costs may apply. Refer to the relevant PDS or Handbook for more information.

Spreading your super across different types of assets is called diversification. This can help reduce the risk of negative returns. Keep in mind that if you:

  • choose one or more of the single asset class investment options, and
  • don’t adequately diversify your investments, 

you could be exposing your super to greater risk.
