Protecting Your Retirement: The Warning Signs of High-Risk Schemes
Following the collapse of the First Guardian/ Shield schemes, Hostplus is urging members to familiarise themselves with the red flags to look out for when making decisions about your super. These include cold calling, pressure tactics, and exaggerated promises about high returns.
Retirement
Retirement ready. Tick.
The Epic Retirement Tick is a new recognition from Chant West for super funds that meet a high standard across key retirement criteria.
Hostplus is proud to be among the first of only six funds to earn the Tick - helping members feel confident about their retirement today and into the future.

Choose how your super is invested
Your super’s already working hard with Hostplus. We can manage it for you, or you can take control. The choice is yours.
When it comes to investing your super, you don’t need to be an expert. At Hostplus, you can choose how involved you want to be.
Leave it to Hostplus
If you’re happy to leave the investing to the experts, our Balanced (MySuper) option does the work for you. It’s where your super is invested if you don’t make a choice, and where most Hostplus members are today.
Built by experts and backed by over 20 years of strong performance, it’s designed to grow your super over time while managing risk through a mix of growth and defensive assets.
Why Balanced works for most members
- It’s the default option if you don’t make an investment choice
- It suits most members who want a simple, set-and-forget approach
- It’s actively managed and regularly reviewed by our investment team
- It has delivered strong long-term returns, after fees and costs1
- One of the lowest admin fees of any MySuper product2
Want more control? You’ve got options
If you prefer to take a more active approach, you can choose how your super is invested.
We offer investment options to suit different goals, preferences, and comfort with risk, so you can dial your level of control up or down.
Why you might prefer this approach:
- Adjust your investments as your life changes
- Invest based on your risk comfort, values, or goals
- Take a more hands-on role in managing your super
Our diversified styles
Our ready-made diversified options make it easy to choose an approach that suits you.
- Low-cost: focused on keeping fees and costs low
- Values-based: socially responsible investment options in line with your values
- Signature: focused on delivering the best net return for a given level of risk
Set and forget
Our Lifecycle option automatically adjusts your investments as you move through different stages of life, so you don’t need to manage it yourself. It follows three stages: grow, maintain and protect.
When you’re younger, it invests for growth to help build your balance. As you approach retirement, it shifts to lower-risk options to help protect it.
For even more control
If you want to take a hands-on approach, there are additional ways you can tailor your investments:
Single-sector options: use these on their own or combine them to make up your own mix.
For even more control
If you want to take a hands-on approach, there are additional ways you can tailor your investments:
Choiceplus: invest directly in Australian shares, ETFs, LICs, or term deposits. It’s a simpler alternative to an SMSF that offers many of the same benefits without the high costs or admin burden.
Not sure which approach is right for you?
You don’t need to decide today, and you can change your investment options at any time.
Many members start with our Balanced (MySuper) option, then explore other options as they become more confident, or their goals change. If you’d like a little more guidance, there are a few ways you can get it.
