LGIAsuper CEO Kate Farrar said despite COVID-19 making growth opportunities scarce it was reassuring to see the fund’s portfolios continuing to perform.

“Managing our members’ retirement savings is a responsibility we take very seriously. When people choose LGIAsuper they are putting their trust in our investment philosophy,” Ms Farrar said.

LGIAsuper runs a diversified investment program, spreading members’ money across a range of share market, property, infrastructure, debt and other growth assets, helping to cushion the impact on investment returns during times of market stress.

LGIAsuper is focused on solid long-term performance. Our default investment option has returned a compound average +8.83% per annum over 35 years (as at 30 June 2020)².

Ms Farrar added: “We continue to look for good quality infrastructure assets at home and abroad, as they tend to generate stable earnings over a long term, helping to reduce volatility in the fund. This includes assets such as the Sunshine Coast Airport, Central Queensland Livestock Exchange, North Queensland Gas Pipeline and the Gold Coast Light Rail network, to ensure that our investments are spread across different sectors and benefit the community as well as our members.”

 

  1. You can refer to the SuperRatings Fund Crediting Rate Survey September 2020 to obtain further information about these results, including how it calculates investment returns. The information is current as at the date of the SuperRatings Survey. LGIAsuper pays a fee to some research houses for surveying our funds. Investment returns are only one factor to be taken into account when deciding whether to invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

  2. LGIAsuper’s default investment option has returned an average 8.83% per annum over 35 years (as at 30 June 2020). Returns are based on daily unit prices available to members. They are net of investment fees and taxes, and net of the 0.18% administration fee charged by the Fund. The $1.50 per account per week charge was not deducted from these returns. Note from 1 November 2020 the per account per week charge was reduced from $1.50 to $1.00. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
