How is my money invested?

Student Super invests your money with the help of professional investment managers.
Once your balance is above $1,500, your money is invested using a diversified, low cost index investment strategy.

What is index investing?

There are two broad ways to invest:

  • Active investing

    This involves hiring a team of managers to pick which specific companies on the stock market (or other investments) will do better than others.

  • Index investing

    A share index is made up of a large group of shares. Index investing involves using technology to buy a little bit of many companies in proportion to their share of the market or index.
We chose index investing – so you own a little bit of many companies and then rely on the long term growth of the market to deliver you a return.
This strategy is more diversified than the first. And, because you don't need a team of stock pickers, it is also lower cost.
