Understanding Your Investment Options

An investment option spreads your super money across different types of asset classes, such as shares, property, cash, or bonds, to achieve a target return. Each option has its own level of risk and potential return, so you can choose the one that suits you best. Whether you’re a hands-on investor or prefer to leave it to the experts, Hostplus has an investment option for you.

Control over how your super is invested. That’s a plus.

A broader selection of investment options

You have more choice

You have a choice of investment options to choose from and decide how your super is invested. You can choose from a variety of investment styles, each with different levels of risk and potential return. This flexibility helps you align your investments with your financial goals and how much risk you are comfortable with.

You have more control

Having more control over your investments allows you to tailor your super to suit your personal needs. By understanding the differences between our investment options, it's easier to choose an option that could best help you achieve your retirement goals.     

You can choose the level of control you want over your super.

Here’s some examples of our investment options that may suit how hands-on you want to be with your super:

1. Leave it to us

Balanced (MySuper) option is our default option designed for members who prefer a hands-off approach. Most of our members are invested in this option,  it offers a mix of asset classes with a bias towards growth asset classes.   

2. You choose an option that suits your style

Members can choose from our pre-mixed options to match their risk appetite or preferred investment style. For example, Indexed Balanced resembles the Balanced option in risk and asset mix but aims to minimise fees and costs.
