What are asset classes

An asset class is a group of investments with similar characteristics. Examples of asset classes are Australian shares, cash and fixed income.

They are the building blocks of our investment options. Each investment option has an objective, and this objective determines the mix of asset classes in the option. This means different investment options will have a different mix of asset classes.

Asset classes are classified as growth, defensive or a mix of the two. It’s important to understand asset classes. This helps you understand the level of risk and expected return of your investment option(s).
