Vision Super’s April performance
Whether through a global pandemic or just day-to-day management of your super it’s important to know that your super isn’t invested only in shares, but also in other types of assets, which helps spreads the risk. In the 12 months to the end of April this year, the Australian equity market, as measured by the ASX300, returned minus 9.1% including dividends, but for members in our Balanced growth option the returns over the same period were significantly not as bad - minus 1.09%#. This shows how diversification in our Balanced growth option helps to protect your retirement savings. Vision Super’s longer-term performance remains strong, as shown in the graph, so it’s important to stick to your strategy and invest for the long term.
