TWUSUPER pre-mixed investment options
Members can choose between these 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 MySuper Balanced option, which is the default investment product designed to suit most members.
| Investment option | Risk level | Target asset allocation |
|---|---|---|
TWUSUPER Conservative This option has the lowest level of investment risk of the diversified options 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. | Low to Medium |
|
TWUSUPER Moderate This option has 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 to High |
|
TWUSUPER Balanced (MySuper) This is the default investment option designed to suit most members. It's where you'll be invested if you don't make an investment preference. It has a focus on growth over the medium to long term, with around 25% allocation to defensive assets to reduce the risk of large market fluctuations. | Medium to High |
|
TWUSUPER High Growth This option invests almost entirely in growth assets, with more than 80% of your balance invested in 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 |

Hi,
I’m with TWU Super and my wife is with Australian Super. I’m just curious as to how the two compare in terms of performance/fees?
Hi Chris, The answer to that would depend on the investment option/strategy you’ve each chosen as well – that influences fees and performance. Looking at cash options as an example, TWU and Australian Super had similar performance over the last year, but TWU’s indicative fees were higher. (As always, past performance doesn’t guarantee future performance.)
Hi there,
i worked for Allied Express and was with TWUSUPER in 2010 and 2012-2013. sorry i cant remember my account number. could you please tell me if i could and how to transfer my account balance to my super account in NZ? thanks
Best Regards
Lijun Wang
Hi Lijun,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Actually, on closer inspection, so long as you either a New Zealand or Australian permanent resident, you should be able to transfer your balance out of your TWUSUPER fund, under the Trans-Tasman retirement savings portability scheme. TWUSUPER is an APRA-regulated fund, which is one of the stipulations for transferring the balance. You should make sure your super fund in New Zealand is compliant – it needs to be one of the funds regulated under the KiwiSaver scheme. You also needs to have permanently emigrated to New Zealand. There are some other conditions which apply to the transfer. You should contact your super fund for further advice.
I hope this information has helped.
Cheers,
Harold
