Description

There’s a lot happening in the world right now. What does it mean for your super? 

You might be hearing about changes in the stock market. It can sound confusing – but here's the truth: 


👉 Your super is built for the long term 

👉 Short-term noise doesn’t mean long-term loss 


In this episode of Super Insider, we explain what’s going on and make sense of how current events may impact your retirement savings (spoiler alert: not as much as you might think). Hear from our experts ART's Chief Economist, Brian Parker, Senior Education Manager, Joshua van Gestel, and host Anne Fuchs.

00:00 Market volatility and your superannuation

02:35 How your investment team thinks about volatility - and why it's not always bad news 

03:10 Understanding the benefits of staying invested, even when markets dip 

04:18 Tips for keeping emotions out of your investment decisions  

07:23 How our Lifecycle default option helps protect members nearing retirement 

09:18 Why diversification and access to global private assets give your super strength in uncertain times 

Take 10 minutes and listen in. You might walk away with a fresh perspective - and peace of mind.
