Investment description
The High Growth Investment Option is designed for members who want higher growth over the medium to long term and who accept greater volatility of investment returns year to year, including the possibility of negative returns in some years.
Investment objective
The objective of the High Growth Investment Option is to outperform (after tax and fees) CPI + 5% pa, and the median growth fund, over the medium to longer term.
Investment management
The High Growth Investment Option invests mostly in shares of Australian and overseas companies, but also has some exposure to other asset classes including property, private equity, infrastructure, hedge funds, bonds and cash. Such a broad spread of asset classes reduces the effect of fluctuations that may occur in any single asset class. This is further reduced by spreading the investments between a range of investment managers.

* Please note that the returns quoted are net of fees and tax. The 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and since inception figures, where they appear, are rolling returns as at 30 June 2008. These historical returns are the combined return information from previous ARF and STA investment options.
Where only one of the merging funds previously offered an equivalent to an option in the new product suite, the returns of that option have been used. Where both funds offered an equivalent option, the returns have been asset weighted across both options on a monthly basis, as per industry best practice. Where data isn’t available for one or both of the equivalent options, the monthly returns have been averaged. The same process has been used for calculating historical investment fees. Investment returns are not guaranteed as all investments carry some risk. Past performance gives no indication of future returns.
The strategic asset allocation and other information shown in this section is current as at 31 December 2007. The Trustee may alter the strategic asset allocation or the composition of individual asset classes from time to time to suit prevailing market circumstances.
