Your super, your choice, backed by investment experts
The investment choices you make today can have a big impact on how much super you have when you stop work.
We offer a range of investment options to suit your goals, investment timeframe and preferred level of risk. How involved you want to be is up to you. You can leave investment decisions to our experts or take a more active role in choosing how your super is invested.
Chief Investment Officer, Leigh Gavin, explains how we give members choice, while our investment experts manage their super.
More than one way to invest
When you join CBUS, your super is automatically invested in the Growth (MySuper) option. This option is designed to suit the needs of most members and invests across a broad range of assets.
You can also choose from six Pre-mixed and five DIY options. Our Pre-mixed options are diversified across a range of asset classes. If you want more exposure to specific investments, like Australian shares or property, you can invest directly through one of our DIY options. You can select one option or mix and match to create an approach that suits your needs.
Backed by investment experts
You don't need to be an expert to make the most of your super. Our team of more than 100 investment professionals is focused on delivering strong long-term outcomes for members, so you can choose the level of involvement that's right for you.
We manage around 37% of our assets in-house as well as partner with specialist external investment managers. This approach combines internal expertise with access to broader investment opportunities and helps manage investment fees and costs.
Access to opportunities through your super
As one of Australia's largest super funds, our size and long-term approach can provide members with access to a broad range of investments. These can include opportunities that require significant capital, specialist expertise or long investment timeframes, and may not be readily available to individual investors.
Investing for the long term
Markets will move up and down over time, but super is a long-term investment. Whichever option you choose, our focus remains on helping grow your retirement savings and supporting better retirement outcomes over the long term.
