Risk level: very low
Investor profile
Will suit investors looking for stability, but long-term investment returns are likely to be the lowest of all investment options.
Investment strategy

The Trustee may adjust the asset mix or vary the investment strategy from time to time. This could include varying the mix between growth assets and defensive assets.
Please note: If you choose this option, you may need to consider whether medium and long-term returns with this option are likely to be high enough to ensure your superannuation grows adequately to meet your retirement income goals.
