What's your investor type?

Super isn’t one-size-fits-all, make sure your investment choices reflect the real you

 

Not all investors are the same—and that’s a good thing! The way you invest should match your risk tolerance, goals, and how hands-on you want to be with your super. 

Whether you prefer to leave it to the experts, take a collaborative approach, or take total control of your investments, understanding your investor type helps you feel confident in the choices you make to grow your super. 

Explore the three investor types below to see which best fits your style: The Outsourcer, The Co-Pilot, or the Pilot. 

 

Which investor are you?

The Outsourcer

You’ve got other priorities, and that’s perfectly fine. 

You prefer leaving investing to the experts, trusting them to grow and protect your money while you focus on what matters most to you. 

Whether you’re just starting out or don’t have the time (or interest) to dive deep into investment strategy, you’re confident handing the reins to the pros.

The Co-Pilot

You trust the pilot to take the lead, but you’re ready to provide direction or even take the wheel if needed. 

You’ve got some investment knowledge and enjoy getting hands-on with your portfolio, but you’re happy to let experts guide the way when needed. 

You’re putting in the effort to learn and manage, while keeping control of your investments.

The Pilot

You’re in full control and ready to take the wheel. 

With a strong desire to manage your own investments, you’re hands-on and selective about every choice.  

You dedicate the time and energy needed to steer your money exactly where you want it, making sure every decision aligns with your financial goals.
