Changing investments

Before you change your investments, it can be good to understand what type of investor you are and a few key investment concepts.

How long you’re going to be invested for

Your age, how long before you might start withdrawing your super, and your super balance, are all important factors when considering investments.

Remember, super is usually a long term investment but as you approach retirement, your investment timeframe gets shorter.

The risks of investing and how comfortable you are with risk

All investments have a level of risk. Understanding how you feel about risk helps when choosing investments.

One of the ways you can manage investment risk is through diversification, which means you invest in a variety of investment or asset types.

One of the easiest ways to diversify your investments is by choosing a pre-mixed investment option. In these kinds of options, our investment managers do the hard work for you and create investments that include various kinds of assets.
