How is High Growth different?

With a strong bias towards higher growth assets, like Australian and international shares and private markets, our new High Growth investment option provides more exposure to technology and innovation investments than our other options.

Our High Growth investment option:

has a larger allocation to listed equities. It also has a higher allocation to private markets that may be more difficult for members to access directly

has a tilt towards technology and other innovative companies in their early stages of growth, providing opportunities for potentially higher long-term returns

is diversified across asset classes, countries and industries to spread risk and reduce market volatility.

The High Growth investment option is made up of 90% ‘growth’ assets and 10% ‘defensive’ assets. It includes Australian and international shares, as well as assets that may be difficult to access via listed markets such as shares in private companies, venture capital investments, private debt investments and infrastructure and property.  

 

Who does High Growth suit?

Our High Growth investment option is designed for those who are prepared to accept higher levels of investment market fluctuations, particularly over the short term, in exchange for potentially higher long-term returns. It’s also suited for those who want part of their super to be exposed to technology and innovation investments, alongside other industries. Compared to the other TelstraSuper investment options, High Growth involves a higher level of risk to target potentially greater returns over the longer term. It’s important to note the value of your investment may rise or fall over shorter-term periods.

FAQs

  • What is the investment return objective for the high growth investment option?

    The High Growth investment option return objective will depend on what type of TelstraSuper account you hold as detailed below :

    • outperform CPI + 4.0% for accumulation, Transition to Retirement income stream and Defined Benefit (accumulation account) members  

    • outperform CPI + 4.5% for RetireAccess Retirement income stream members.

     

    The difference in these objectives reflects the different tax arrangements between retirement income stream accounts and other accounts.
