Choosing and changing options
With nine investment options to choose from, there’s an option to suit you.
How you invest your savings can make a big difference to your super balance and retirement income.
Decide how you'd like your money invested by choosing from our nine investment options.
If you don't choose an investment option when you become a VicSuper member, your savings are invested in the Growth (MySuper) Option which is our default option.
You might like to consider reviewing your investment needs and changing your option if necessary.
Three things to consider when choosing an option
-
Know your tolerance for risk and your investment timeframe
Generally, the higher the risk, the higher the long-term returns are expected to be. And the longer your investment timeframe, the more likely it is that you will be able to ride out the ups and downs associated with higher risk options. Read our investment basics -
Compare VicSuper’s investment options
Each of our nine options has a different investment strategy, return objective and risk measure. Compare our investment options to find an option that's right for you. -
Choose an option
You can choose one investment option or create a tailored strategy by splitting your savings across multiple options.
If you're a VicSuper FutureSaver member you can also specify whether you want to change your options for your entire account balance or just for your future contributions.
Make your change
We don't charge fees to change your options. You can choose one option or specify a mix.
