Managing Your Super

Local Super uses the specialist expertise of a variety of investment managers in Australia and overseas to achieve the performance goals of the 6 investment options available to members.

We select a mix of managers to invest on your behalf. Our investment team monitors the activities and performance of each manager for you and the Board changes managers as the need arises.

You can choose the investment option that best suits your needs. Local Super’s 6 investment options each have specific investment performance objectives. To achieve these objectives, each option has different asset allocations and some of them have a mix of asset classes. This diversification helps to spread the investment risk and minimise the impact of market fluctuations on the overall investment. Each option’s asset allocation is considered to be the most likely combination to achieve its investment objectives in the long term.
