    What is the best investment strategy?
    Unfortunately there is no one answer to this question suitable
    for everyone – nor is there a “correct” answer.
    Investments which generally give higher returns are usually more
    volatile. Over a number of years, it may be best for you to invest
    most of your superannuation contributions in shares
    and property, but then, just before you retire, the share
    market falls and your retirement benefit loses value!
    You may then think that you should have kept contributions
    in a low-risk savings account all along. But if you had done
    this, in most years you would have earned less.
    What should you do?
    You need to make a choice that you are comfortable with.
    If you’re unsure, get professional financial advice (EISS can
    direct you to a financial planner if you wish). The money you
    spend may save you dollars in the long run.
    If you don’t make a choice, your accounts will be invested in
    the Balanced Growth option. There is more information on
    this option (and the others) later in this leaflet.
    Investment Choice
    your money...your choice.
    An important part of superannuation is the way your money is invested and the investment
    returns that are achieved.
    All members of the Electricity Industry Superannuation Scheme (EISS) have some part of their
    benefits that are affected by investment returns. You can have a say in how those parts of your
    benefit are invested, and what returns your money earns. This Investment Choice leaflet gives you
    the details on investment strategies and the options available.

    Investment Strategies
    There are two broad styles of investment strategy:
    Growth Strategy
    Growth assets are typically Australian shares, overseas shares and
    property.
    This type of investment carries the most short term risk, but has
    potentially the highest long term return. It could be the most
    appropriate strategy for those who are investing for the long term
    and want to protect the buying power of their savings
    against inflation.
    In the short term, rates of return from growth investments can
    be expected to vary widely, with a significant chance of negative
    returns over a one-year period.
    For those with patience and a long investment period until
    retirement, growth assets are likely to produce the best results.
    Defensive Strategy
    On the other hand, the defensive style of investment uses
    fixed-interest bonds and short-term deposits. The most defensive
    investment is “cash”, where the money is normally invested shortterm
    with banks and guaranteed against loss.
    The risk of losing any of your original investment is extremely low,
    with returns being more stable. The risk that you run with this
    very conservative type of investment is that you could fail to meet
    your income goals for retirement, particularly if you have a long
    investment period ahead of you.
    How do these styles affect your choices?
    Most investment options are a mix of these two broad strategies,
    ranging from all growth to all defensive.
    The options available in EISS are outlined on the following pages.
    What investment options are available?
    There are restrictions on what choices are available, depending on
    which part of the Scheme you are in (see table below).
    If “All choices are available”, members can choose a combination
    of options as long as they total 100%. Members must have the
    same option for their account balances and future contributions.
    Account-based pensioners may also choose which option their
    pension payments are made from.
    Investment Choice Changes
    You can make up to four switches (in percentage splits only) in
    any 12 month period without charge. Any additional switches
    will attract a $50 fee per switch. (Division 5 members may make
    investment choice changes online, other members must complete
    an Investment Choice form which is available on the website).
    Timing
    Any switch you make will take effect from the beginning of
    the next month, provided you return your form at least a
    week before.
