SMARTpension invests your pension in a range of different assets, many of the same investment markets you regularly hear about in the news. This means super and pension investments will rise and fall depending on the movement of the underlying assets.
The monthly and quarterly updates below provide an overview of aspects of the investment environment that may affect SMARTpension’s investment performance.
Since we use a range of professional investment managers to manage the investments on your behalf, there is certainly no need to understand the markets in this much detail. However, we know many of you find this extra level of detail useful in making sense of recent rates of return.
