A lower-risk option

If you’re looking for Hostplus’ lowest-risk pre-mixed investment option, then Capital Stable may be for you. Compared to our Balanced option, Capital Stable invests less in growth assets such as shares, and more in fixed interest and cash.

A diversified mix of assets

Capital Stable is a pre-mixed option, meaning it invests in different types of assets, including fixed interest, cash, listed equities, property, infrastructure, private equity, credit and alternatives.

A top performer

The Capital Stable option ranks in the top quarter for investment returns over 10 years, compared to similar options.1 And that’s after all investment fees and taxes have been paid.
