How we invest
Serve our members
We work only for members, investing your money with the same care and respect we’d give our own.
Keep a long-term focus
Super is for life. So while we seek out opportunities to grow your savings today, we stay focused on delivering long-term results.
Be responsible investors
We support actions for a more sustainable future. We consider climate change and other environmental, social and governance factors in our investment decisions.
Maximise returns while keeping costs low
We aim to maximise returns after carefully considering risks and costs. Being efficient helps us keep costs low.

Why does a fall in my super balance take so long to recover?
While investing, especially super, should generally take a long-term approach, prolonged periods of market volatility and even market falls can slow down progress towards your goals.
