mysuper Balanced Fund
Our Balanced Fund is a well-diversified investment fund that has a balance of risk through holding approximately 55% growth assets (like equities) and 45% lower risk income assets (like fixed interest and cash). The objective of our Balanced Fund is to achieve higher positive real investment returns (in excess of inflation) over the medium term (around ten years), accepting that over the short term (between one to three years), investment returns could be negative.

Understanding the risk indicator
Managed funds in New Zealand must have a standard risk indicator. The risk indicator is designed to help investors understand the uncertainties both for loss and growth that may affect their investment. You can compare Funds using the risk indicator.
The risk indicator is rated from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The rating reflects how much the value of the Fund’s assets goes up and down (volatility). A higher risk generally means higher potential returns over time, but more ups and downs along the way.

To help you clarify your own attitude to risk, you can seek financial advice or work out your risk profile at sorted.org.nz/calculators/investment-planner Note that even the lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment, and there are other risks (described below under the heading ‘Other specific risks’) that are not captured by this rating.
This risk indicator is not a guarantee of a Fund’s future performance. While risk indicators are usually relatively stable, they do shift from time to time.
