Our long-term investment strategy is designed to be highly diversified, knowing there will always be fluctuations. If one area of the market falls, this diversification acts as a buffer.
The good news is our Balanced (MySuper) option, where most members invest, generated a small positive return for the quarter1, which was pleasing given the negative market backdrop. In fact, it's ranked the number one option over rolling 10 and 20-year periods.1
