Why you’d invest
Invest in this option if you have an investment timeframe of at least seven years. It’s for those wanting to achieve potentially higher long-term returns, from a portfolio of global shares, but are willing to accept higher levels of volatility in returns and the possibility of negative returns over the short term.
The minimum investment timeframe is 7–10 years.
Return objective
To outperform the return of the overseas share market (as measured by the MSCI World ex-Australia Index in $AUD).
To achieve returns after tax and fees that exceed the inflation rate by at least 4% per year (over rolling 10-year periods).
Risk level
High
The chance of a negative annual return is 4.9 in every 20 years.
The risk level is based on the Standard Risk Measure.
