    Impact of the MySuper Growth and MySuper Conservative Balanced SAA changes on the MySuper age-based SAAs.

    MLC MySuper provides a mix of growth and defensive assets that change depending on your age. This is done by combining the MySuper Growth, MySuper Conservative Balanced and MySuper Cash portfolios. As a result of SAA changes in the underlying portfolios, there have been some minor changes to the SAAs and Defensive/Growth splits at the MLC MySuper age level.

    The table below summarises the changes. All changes are bolded with the previous values in brackets.
