DEFINED BENEFIT STRATEGY
The Defined Benefit Strategy generally invests a high proportion of its funds in growth assets, such as Australian and international equities and property. The balance is invested in income producing assets. This combination aims to earn wage growth plus 2.25%, to be achieved over 10 years. The emphasis is on growth, so bear in mind that there may be what financial professionals call 'short-term volatility' in this strategy. In other words, the value of the investment may fluctuate over the short-term.
