Get a second opinion on your super
Studies show that most Australians have a very high proportion of their super – between 60% and 80% – invested in equities1. And yet equities are a highly volatile asset class that may not be suitable for everyone! For example, in the year to December 2012, Australian equities did very well – returning 18.8%. But turn the clock back just six months and the picture was very different: In the year to 30 June 2012, the same assets lost over 7% of their value. And for the year to December 2011 things were even worse, with Australian Shares losing over 11.4% of their value2.It can certainly be a rollercoaster ride!
