MySuper

The government defines MySuper as a simple, cost-effective, balanced superannuation product designed for members who want to leave the investment decisions to their superannuation fund.

If you don’t make any investment choice, your super will be invested in our MySuper investment option.

Hostplus MySuper option

The Balanced option is our MySuper investment option, and over a million Hostplus members are invested in this option. It’s an award-winning investment option¹ and a top performer over the long term.²

Who is Hostplus Life suitable for?

This investment option is designed for members who would like to automatically move from higher-risk Core investment options to lower-risk Core investment options as they approach retirement.

Throughout your younger years, Hostplus Life is focused on long-term capital growth, with a higher investment in assets such as listed equities and property. As you move closer to retirement, your superannuation will be focused more on providing a steady income and preserving capital.
