Changes to minimum investment timeframes
Important information
For each of the VicSuper investment options, we provide a recommended minimum investment time frame as a guide for our members. These time frames are determined in consultation with our asset consultant. Following our merger on 1 July 2020, we aligned the VicSuper investment approach with that of Aware Super. As a result of changes made – such as using a different asset consultant, and changing the Strategic Asset Allocation and allocation to growth assets in some instances – there have been changes to the recommended minimum investment time frames for some of our investment options. These changes are shown below for your reference:
| Investment option | Previous recommended minimum investment time frame | New recommended minimum investment time frame from 1 Nov 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Equity Growth | 7-years plus | Long term (10 years) |
| Socially Conscious | 5-years plus | Medium to long term (7 years)* |
| Capital Stable | 3-years plus | Medium term (4 years) |
| Capital Secure | 1-year plus | Short to medium term (3 years) |
| Australian Shares | 7-years plus | Long term (10 years) |
| Cash | No time frame suggested | Short term (up to 2 years) |
Changes to the Strategic Asset Allocation of some of our investment options, effective 1 November 2020, were outlined in the previous edition of SuperNews.
