International
Shares
The International Shares+ investment option is focused on delivering the best net return in a single sector from investing in a portfolio of all growth assets (typically companies listed on international securities exchanges, including developed and emerging markets, and may include some unlisted assets) and has medium diversification.
At a glance (Accumulation)
+ Not available to Maritime Contributory Accumulation members who joined before 1 July 2008 and have not waived their Protected Minimum Benefit. If these members were already invested in the Australian Shares, International Shares, or Growth options as of 8 May 2025, they can continue to do so. If these members wish to switch their existing balance or future contributions between any investment options on or after 8 May 2025, they must move their entire balance and all future contributions out of the Australian Shares, International Shares or Growth options, and can only reinvest in these options if they waive their Protected Minimum Benefit. Refer to the Maritime Contributory Accumulation Member Guide for more information.
Refer to the Maritime Contributory Accumulation Member Guide for more information.
* Investment costs are based on estimated and actual information from the previous financial year. The costs payable in future years may be higher or lower. Administration and other fees apply. For a full breakdown of fees and costs, see our fees and costs page or Section 6 of the Member Guide.
^ Investment return over 10 years to 30 April 2025, net of investment fees and costs. Administration and other costs apply. Returns won’t display for options younger than 10 years. See the investment returns page for returns over all available periods.
Who is International Shares suitable for?
With all growth assets, this single sector investment option is designed for members with a medium to long-term investment timeframe, who are seeking strong long-term returns, have a high tolerance of negative returns and can accept the impacts of foreign currency movements.
Read our Member Guide for more information about these terms.
