Investment Choice
Choose how your super is invested
Tasplan offers a choice of five investment options for members. Each option has a different investment strategy, with varying levels of expected risk and return. You can choose to invest your account balance and future contributions in these options.
| Investment Strategy | Asset Type | ||
| Cash |
|
||
| Short Term Defensive |
|
||
| Balanced (default) |
|
||
| Longer Term Growth |
|
||
| Equities |
|
You can also mix-n-match the five options in any combination to ensure the best possible match with your risk profile. This includes the ability to apply one strategy to your existing benefits and another strategy for your future contributions.
Comparing Investment Options
Each option has a different mix of growth and defensive assets, and each has a different strategy and objective.
Click on the thumbnails in the table below to show, for each investment option, the benchmark asset portfolio and a set of ranges around the benchmark to which investment allocations can be made.
The additional information gives an indicative measure of the level of risk associated with each option.

How does it work?
New members can select an investment option on their Membership Application Form.
You have the opportunity to change your investment option weekly. The first investment option switch in any year is free. If you switch again in the same year, a small switching fee will apply. (See page 16 of the Tasplan Information Booklet for fees).
If you don't make a choice, your super will automatically be invested in the Balanced Option.
Making an investment choice is a big decision and it's very important that you select an option that suits your financial and retirement goals.
