Key takeaways

Keep in mind that:

  • Super is a long term investment designed to generate sufficient money so you can enjoy your retirement.
  • Diversification is an important part of a long term super investment strategy. To create the lifestyle you want in retirement, it may be necessary to invest in growth assets like shares so that your returns stay ahead of tax and inflation.
