As a member of Catholic Super, you can choose the investment style that is most suitable for you.

It is important that you choose an investment style that suits your personal situation. Some of the things you should consider before making a choice are:

• The length of the time your money will be invested
• Your attitude to risk and the level of risk you are comfortable with
• Other investments you may already have
• The amount of money being invested
• The level of investment earnings you are looking for.

Catholic Super has developed an easy-to-use guide.  To find out the right investment for you follow the 5-easy steps.

Risk and Return

Investment risk refers to the chance your investment can rise or fall over a given period. This is called ‘volatility’.

Investment return is the level of earnings of a particular investment over time. Investment returns can be positive or negative – that is, the value of an investment can either rise or fall.

Generally, higher risk investments have the potential to provide high returns over the long term. Conversely, lower risk investments generally provide lower rates of return.

While Catholic Super can provide you with general information, you may like to seek professional investment advice appropriate to your circumstances before making any investment decision.
