How we manage your investments
 |
We care how |
The Sunsuper investment options
Sunsuper has adopted a philosophy of active investment management. This is reflected in the range of highly rated investment managers selected by Sunsuper and its investment consultant Mercer, to manage the 11 Sunsuper investment options (4 diversified and 7 single asset class).
We have a strong belief this approach will result in returns higher than returns from index managers, even after active management fees are taken into account.
In addition to expecting our investment managers to outperform their benchmarks through active management, we expect all our managers to:
- have world class professional investment processes,
- complement each other's processes and styles, and
- be cost effective.
For the Sunsuper Diversified options and
the Sunsuper All Shares option, we also
aim to add value through using managers
to make short- to medium-term changes
to asset allocation.
Sunsuper aims to reduce investment risk
by diversifying across both asset classes
and manager styles.
The Sunsuper investment range includes diversified and single asset class options from leading investment managers sourced by Sunsuper and its investment consultants.
In addition, Sunsuper has a policy covering the hedging of currency for each of the Sunsuper managed investment options that have overseas investments.
The external manager
investment options
As some of you may wish to choose your
own mix different from the Sunsuper
options we also offer a range of other
external manager investment options
(5 diversified and 13 single asset
class) which are either active or
index investment options.
Sunsuper and its investment consultants have sourced leading Australian and
international investment managers
for these options.
For more information on the external
manager options (except Maple-Brown
Abbott) refer to the More on our Other
external manager options section on
pages 31 to 34 of the Investment guide.
