MySuper is a simple default investment option. It is intended by the government to make comparing super products easier based on key differences like cost and investment performance. MySuper authorised means it meets the specific standards set under legislation, including fee structures and generally a basic level of insurance coverage.

So if you don’t select an investment option, your contributions will be paid into a MySuper investment option.

How MySuper works for you

  • AMP's MySuper investment option gives you an investment solution that takes you through your working life, continuously evolving to align with the changing stages of your life.
  • Your super savings are actively managed for you in a way that is appropriate for your age and time to retirement. This means that younger investors will be invested into higher-growth investment strategies because they can afford to take more risk. For those approaching retirement, investments will focus more on preserving the capital you've have built up, reducing risk and changing the focus towards assets that preserve your savings.

You may be focused on building assets for yourself or a family.

Your focus: You may be purchasing a house or investment property, renovating, supporting a family, paying for kids' education or enjoying a family vacation.

MySuper strategy: We manage and change your investment over your lifetime to reflect the priorities of someone born in the 1970s. At this stage, we manage your money in a way that's focused on maximising your growth potential so your super is invested in assets such as shares and property.

By now, you've probably got on top of a lot of life's responsibilities.

MySuper strategy: We manage and change your investment over your lifetime to reflect the priorities of someone born in the 1960s. At this stage, we have reduced the proportion of shares held and have increased your holdings of cash and fixed interest. This ensures an active move away from growth to more defensive assets in order to help preserve the savings you've accumulated during your working life.

1950s

Investment Allocation

MySuper strategy: We manage and change your investment over your lifetime to reflect the priorities of someone born in the 1950s. At this stage, we manage your money in a way that's focused more on defensive assets than growth to ensure your current savings are not put at undue risk and volatile market conditions. The proportion invested in shares have decreased while cash and fixed interest have increased more substantially.

Prior to 1950s
