Investing your super savings

GoalTracker can invest your super based on the information it knows about you, so you don’t have to worry about adjusting your investments as your circumstances change.

Explore GoalTracker

Select from a range of investment options that align to your needs – including your goals, timeframe, and appetitie for risk and return. You can choose from over 20 investment options, and our award-winning, multi-asset portfolios include diversified, outcome-oriented, sector, responsible and third-party options.

Diversified

Each diversified option has a different split between growth and defensive asset types, according to its risk/return profile.

Each option is spread across a wide range of asset classes, in varying allocations between defensive and growth type investments. This ensures that they remain true to their risk/return profile regardless of market conditions.

» Defensive

» Diversified 50

» Balanced Growth

» Growth

» High Growth

Outcome oriented

These options are focused on delivering investment return targets above inflation. They are invested across a range of asset classes, including alternatives, and are actively managed within wide allowable asset allocation ranges.

This allows the portfolio manager to dynamically manage the portfolio allocations to the target outcome in a wide range of market conditions.

» Multi-Asset Income Strategy

» Multi-Asset Growth Strategy

Responsible

These investment options are focused on investment opportunities with low carbon impact, and/or environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics.

There are both Australian and Global responsible options available.

Sector

Each sector option is actively managed to provide exposure to a single asset class, such as shares, bonds, property, infrastructure and cash.
More specific options are available, including Australian and Global variants of some asset classes for more discrete exposures. Some global options offer $A Hedging to minimise the impact of currency fluctuations on performance.
