Members can choose between different diversified investment options depending on the level of risk you want to take on. If you don't make an investment choice, you'll be placed in the MySuper Lifestage option, which is the default MySuper investment product designed to suit most members.
| Investment option | Risk level |
|---|---|
| Conservative The Conservative options have the lowest level of investment risk and invest largely in fixed interest and cash. They're designed for members looking to protect their balance, with some growth over the medium term. You can choose between:
| Low to Medium |
| Moderately Conservative These options have a more even balance between growth and defensive assets compared to the Conservative option. It's designed for members who aren't comfortable taking on too much risk and who wish to avoid market fluctuations in the short term, while still gaining some level of capital growth.
| Medium |
| Balanced These options have more allocation to growth assets, with about two thirds of your balance invested in growth assets. These options sit in the middle, and are designed to suit most members. There's an ethical option in this group, too.
| High |
| AMP MySuper Lifestages investment option This is the default investment option, and it's where you'll be invested if you don't make an investment preference. It includes a variety of different managed options depending on your age. You'll be invested in more growth assets when you're young and this will gradually decrease as you get closer to retirement.
| Medium to High |
| Moderately Aggressive These options provide more allocation to growth assets than the previous options, and may suit members looking for more exposure to shares. It's designed for members with a longer investment timeframe of at least 10 years, or members with a higher risk tolerance.
| High |
| Aggressive The Aggressive option invests almost entirely in growth assets, with a much larger allocation to shares. It's the most high-risk investment option available, and aims to achieve higher returns over the long term. It's designed for members seeking higher long-term growth.
| High |
