* Before 1 July 2020, asset allocation ranges included private equity as part of Alternatives. From 1 July 2020, and consistent with all Diversified options including Lifetime (Accumulation accounts only), the Equities exposure includes Australian equities, International equities and private equity.
From 1 July 2020, the Socially Responsible investment option will adopt QSuper’s ‘risk balanced’ approach to investing, which seeks to diversify asset class exposure while still targeting similar returns. From an asset allocation perspective, this will look like a lower concentration to a single risky asset class (equities), increased allocations to real and alternative assets and the introduction of longer duration bonds. Additionally, the option will seek investments consistent with the socially responsible principles, with the aim to make positive impact investments. Find out more.
