Published September 2024
Choiceplus gives you the ability to invest your super or pension in shares in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, a range of ETFs, listed investment companies (LICs), and term deposits.
We’ve added five new ETFs to the Choiceplus range, which became available on 1 July 2024.
Hostplus members can head to Member Online to choose the investment option that’s right for them.
The new Choiceplus ETF options employ a passive investment strategy, which can be a low-cost way of gaining exposure to shares and other asset classes. A passive option typically aims to track the performance of a market index, rather than trying to ‘beat the market’.
Below are the options that were added to the list of ETFs available to Choiceplus members:
We regularly review the options available to you on our Choiceplus platform to give you more investment choice. This is part of our ongoing due diligence and member focus.
The new ETF additions to Choiceplus aim to provide you with greater options for diversification, with exposure across international shares, property and infrastructure.
You can invest up to 80% of your overall Hostplus account balance in shares, ETFs and LICs in Choiceplus. Each ETF also has its own limit of either 20% or 50% of your account balance. The new ETFs are shown below, along with their codes and investment limits.
| Code | Name | Investment limit |
|---|---|---|
| BGBL | Betashares Global Shares ETF | 50% |
| HGBL | Betashares Global Shares Currency Hedged ETF | 50% |
| VAE | Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Shares Index ETF | 50% |
| GLPR | iShares Core FTSE Global Property Ex Australia (AUD Hedged) ETF | 50% |
| GLIN | iShares Core FTSE Global Infrastructure (AUD Hedged) ETF | 50% |
Effective 1 July 2024, we have closed the following options from Choiceplus based on considerations such as fees and performance. Existing investments in the below options remain, but the options will no longer be available for new or additional investments.
| Code | Closed options | Similar options available |
|---|---|---|
| IEM | iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF | VGE - Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Shares ETF |
| IAA | iShares Asia 50 ETF | VAE - Vanguard FTSE Asia ex Japan Shares Index ETF |
