Listen Later

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired on Friday 1 September 2023.  Spring has arrived and Christmas is really just around the corner. The topic this week for the show is:  Super investment options – Is a balanced fund really balanced? In this podcast Luke explores the key issues.

Key topics covered include:

  • What super fund members think balanced means
  • What balanced actually means will depend on your fund – it’s a label
  • What are growth assets?
  • How many growth assets are found in some balanced funds?
  • Obviously to a financial planner, a balanced approach is 50:50
  • When comparing funds, it’s important you compare like for like so look at the asset allocations not the labels!
  • Asset allocation is important because it determines the risk you’re taking
  • Think of investment risk like driving a car? Basically, the speed you drive at is like the risk you’ll take
  • So is investing in defensive assets without risk?
  • Finally, Luke shares his top tips around looking at super fund investment options.
