Advice when markets move
Worried about market volatility? Help is available with your CareSuper membership
When markets are volatile, it’s normal to feel uneasy about your super. Headlines can move quickly, balances may go up and down, and it can be hard to know whether your current investment option(s) still feels right for you.
Support for confident super investment choices
One of the benefits of being a CareSuper member is access to Personal advice, also known as limited advice, at no additional cost. It’s included with your membership and is designed to give you peace of mind, particularly when markets feel uncertain.*
Through a one-on-one personalised conversation with a qualified Superannuation Adviser, we can help you understand which investment option best suits you.
During the session, the adviser will take you through a risk profile. This looks at things like:
- how comfortable you are with market ups and downs
- how long you expect your money to be invested
- whether you’re still growing your super or starting to draw an income.
Your risk profile helps guide which CareSuper investment option may be the best fit for your risk and return preferences, so you can feel more confident about where your super is invested.
When is limited advice a good fit?
Limited advice is designed for members who want:
- reassurance that their current investment option(s) still suits them
- help choosing between CareSuper's investment options
- a clearer understanding of how risk and volatility relate to their super.
It's a straightforward way to sense-check your investments, especially during uncertain market conditions, without needing a full financial plan.1
When might you need comprehensive advice?
Comprehensive advice takes a holistic view of your finances, helping you build a strategy that goes beyond super and works across your whole picture.
It could be right for you if you're looking for:
- tailored strategies to manage investment volatility
- investment planning inside and outside super
- investment allocations for you and your spouse.
Fees may apply and will always be discussed upfront, so you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.2
