The Australian Shares – Indexed investment option is focused on minimising investment fees and costs in a single sector from investing in a portfolio of all growth assets (typically companies listed predominantly on the Australian Securities Exchange) and has low diversification.
* 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 the Pension Guide.
^ Investment return over 10 years to 31 July 2024, net of investment fees and costs. Administration and other costs apply. Returns won’t display for options younger than 10 years. See investment returns page for returns over all available periods.
With all growth assets, this single sector investment option is designed for members with a medium to long-term investment timeframe, who are seeking moderate long-term returns and have a very high tolerance of negative returns.
