LGIAsuper and Energy Super address Russian holdings

4 March 2022

On a personal level, the Fund and our people are deeply concerned for the citizens of Ukraine at this very difficult and distressing time.  

We understand that the impacts of this terrible situation have concerned our members from an economic and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standpoint. As at 28 February 2022, our portfolio includes approximately $18 million in Russian securities holdings, equivalent to less than 0.1% of the Fund’s portfolio. This proportion is below the market benchmark weight. 

Like most funds, we use Investment Managers as independent decision-makers who manage specialist aspects of the Fund’s portfolio. Our managers and the Fund will continue to monitor the situation and make any decision regarding our holdings in our member’s best financial interest.   

We encourage members who have any questions about their financial future to seek personalised advice from one of our experts.  

Members can make use of the fund’s complimentary personal advice on a single topic related to their superannuation or a 30-minute Super Health Check, at no additional cost.
