Delivered through uncertainty with diversification at work

The MySuper Growth Portfolio’s strong performance was driven by both our strategic exposure to global and Australian shares, along with carefully selected unlisted and alternative assets.

Listed shares remain a key driver of performance. By investing in high-growth sectors across developed and emerging country markets, the Portfolio has captured meaningful gains, with global share exposure offering strong potential for long-term capital growth.

Diversification continues to play a critical role in the Portfolio’s strategy. Our exposure to unlisted and alternative assets – such as infrastructure, property, and insurance-related investments – adds valuable stability and long-term growth potential. These assets typically behave differently from traditional markets and offer more stable long-term cashflows, helping to smooth returns during periods of market stress and uncertainty.

Staying focused in a shifting landscape

Recent macroeconomic developments, including shifts in US trade policy and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, have contributed to increased market volatility and recession concerns. Through active management and strong governance, we’ve been able to respond with agility and prudence, helping to protect and grow member outcomes.

At the same time, we remain anchored by a long-term perspective. Super is a long-term investment, and our strategy reflects that. By maintaining a measured and selective approach, we aim to ensure the Portfolio stays resilient through short-term uncertainty while remaining focused on delivering sustainable growth over time.
 

Looking Ahead

As markets continue to evolve, so too does our approach. We regularly review and adjust the Portfolio to ensure it remains aligned with changing conditions and member needs. This includes reassessing asset allocations, identifying new opportunities, and managing risks with care and precision.

We’re also taking advantage of opportunities in global markets to acquire high-quality unlisted assets at discounted prices. This positions members well for potentially stronger returns in the future.

Our disciplined investment process - underpinned by deep research, active oversight, and a long-term mindset - is designed to deliver lasting value. We remain focused on helping our members grow their super with confidence, through all market cycles, and ultimately supporting stronger retirement outcomes.
