ClubCOLLECTIVE August 2023
While investment markets have recovered from COVID-19, there is still market volatility. AustralianSuper analyses factors that can affect the value of your super.
Share market performance– Australian and International
As investors buy and sell shares based on expected growth and returns, they become vulnerable due to unstable global conditions.
Inflation / cost of living
Increased living standards and inflation impacts business confidence, therefore it’s harder to predict business performance. As a result, the share market suffers as investors become apprehensive.
Interest rates
Central banks around the world have been increasing interest rates to reel in inflation. Rising interest rates aim to reduce consumer spending to lower inflation.
Ukraine Crisis
With super invested in international shares around the world, economic uncertainty has spread across Europe and the world.
AustralianSuper’s investment strategy With a focus on managing the portfolio through the current market cycle, our 300+ investment team is looking to help members reach their best financial position in retirement.
It’s good to remember that short term fluctuations are a part of the economic cycle and super is a long-term investment. To learn more about AustralianSuper’s performance or to compare options, visit ‘Our Performance’.
