Three new sector-specific investment options are now available for Hostplus members and Hostplus Self-Managed Invest (SMI) investors.

The three new options will provide members and investors with more diversity and less asset and manager concentration risk.

This option aims to provide capital stability and a return above cash over a market cycle.
Australian Shares – Indexed
