What shaped investment performance this year?
The performance of the ANZ Smart Choice Super Lifestage options was mainly driven by their exposure to global share markets, which have continued to perform well despite ongoing economic uncertainty.
But it’s not just share markets driving performance. The Lifestage options also include a mix of alternative assets and unlisted infrastructure, which help spread risk and support long-term growth. This diversified approach means your super savings aren’t relying on just one part of the market to deliver results, making the Lifestage options more resilient through different market conditions.
Further, as members near retirement, each Lifestage option gradually adjusts its asset allocation to become more conservative. This progressive change is intended to protect your savings and help maintain more stable investment performance during the later years of working life.
What’s ahead?
Global uncertainty – from trade tensions to geopolitical risks - continues to shape the investment landscape.
With share markets currently sitting at relatively high valuations, we’re taking a cautious, long-term approach. That means staying diversified across regions, industries and asset types, and being ready to act when new opportunities arise.
In short: we’re focused on keeping your investments resilient, while looking for smart ways to grow your retirement savings.
