Investment beliefs and how we invest

We aim to drive dignified retirement outcomes for our members through our investment strategy. 

Our investment approach is designed to meet the differing needs of our members, in accordance with our responsible ownership principles. 

Being one of Australia’s largest super funds allows us a distinct perspective in our investment decisions, the opportunity and scale to invest beyond the current economic cycle, and a strong sense of purpose to deliver outcomes to help our members retire with more.

A strong governance framework and clear accountabilities create a positive culture and will lead to better investment results.

This comes from managing risks, including those related to ESG and accessing a broader range of return opportunities.

This allows us to create more sustainable outcomes and a “virtuous circle” between investment markets and our communities.

It allows us to invest differently, where we have conviction, and be an early adopter.

We will regularly review outcomes, to learn and adjust as we go.

We will invest for the future in our capabilities and people.

We will blend approaches to best meet our objectives.

Asset allocation is a key driver of performance and we will manage it actively to seek additional returns or to reduce risk.

Active management within asset classes can often significantly improve risk-adjusted returns.

We can build capabilities to manage assets internally and manage costs.

Managing assets directly can make us a better overall investor.

We flexibly consider opportunities to take advantage of those not available to smaller investors.

Our long-term investment strategy

There is an advantage to having a long-term mindset.

It allows us to invest differently. We regularly review outcomes to learn and adjust, and we invest for the future in our capabilities and people.

Responsible Ownership

We believe being a responsible owner adds value.

This comes from managing risks and accessing a broader range of return opportunities. It allows us to create more sustainable outcomes and a ‘virtuous circle’ between investment markets and our communities.

Governance and risk management

We believe a strong governance framework and clear accountabilities create a positive culture, and will lead to better investment results.
