Investment Performance


Choosing the right investment


Everyone’s different, that’s why you’ve got options for reaching your retirement goals. Which investment options suit you? 

If you are in the Accumulation Plan, Beneficiary Account or have a Working Income Stream or Retirement Income Stream (including spouse accounts), you have eight investment options to choose from, each with a different level of risk and potential return.

You can choose!

Because everyone’s circumstances are different you can choose to invest in just one option or as many as you like.
