HANDS-ON INVESTING (ACTIVE SUPER CHOICE OPTIONS)

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, our Choice investment options allow you to choose your own investment mix.

With Active Super Choice, you get to select from a range of investment options, depending on how much risk (and potential growth) you want to be exposed to – and for how long. The decision will depend on your individual circumstances.
