Members can choose between these four pre-mixed, 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 High Growth option while you're under 50, which is the default MySuper investment product.
Investment option | Risk level | Target asset allocation |
---|---|---|
Stable This option has the lowest level of investment risk and invests largely in fixed interest and cash. It's designed for members looking to protect their balance, with some growth over the medium term. | Medium |
|
Conservative Balanced This option has a more even balance between growth and defensive assets compared to the Stable 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 to High |
|
Growth This option provides 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. | High |
|
High Growth This option invests entirely in growth assets, with almost 90% of your balance invested in Australian and international shares. It's the most high-risk investment option available, and aims to achieve higher returns over the long term. This is where your super will automatically be invested while you're under 50 (unless you choose otherwise). | High |

Hello,
There are many restrictions and rules around how much you can contribute to your super and the different tax obligations for the contibutions and investment earnings. This depends on factors such as your age, retirement status, super balance and contribution amount. It’s best to speak to a financial advisor, or your super fund, who can offer you personal tax advice based on your financial situation.
Thanks,

2 questions the first how did mine and wellbeing super preform against other super funds 2016/17 ? The second how does family trusts work ?
Hello BWF,
Thank you for your inquiry.
We have a comparison page for superannuation funds in Australia. Please take note that the sites listed may measure the funds in a different manner from each other. Some of them may compute returns prior fees while others would be returns after fees. Also, relative definitions may be used such as top-rated funds (which means in some that they have returns of not less than 10%).
It would still be recommended to talk with your employer to check your super funds’ options or to a qualified financial adviser who will take into consideration your goals and risk appetite.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
