  • What are pre-mixed options?

    Our pre-mixed options invest in combinations of asset classes. They have varying levels of investment risk and focus on three different investment styles and themes:

    Our Core pre-mixed investment options focus on delivering the best net return for a given level of risk. These options take full advantage of Hostplus’ investment expertise and feature our best investment ideas across listed and unlisted assets, bonds and cash.

    Our Indexed pre-mixed investment options focus on minimising investment fees and costs. These options generally use a passive investment style to invest in listed companies, bonds, and cash, and aim to track the returns of the markets in which they invest.

    Our Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) pre-mixed options focus on values-based investing. These options seek to reduce exposure to industry segments within fossil fuels and tobacco production, as well as other factors.
