Base funds
Choose from seven diversified base funds, ranging from a lower-risk conservative fund to a higher-risk high growth fund.
How base funds work
A base fund is like the foundation of your investment plan. Each invests solely in a single underlying fund with its own investment mix, risk rating, and suggested investment timeframe.
Your investment plan can be made up of a single base fund, or for greater diversification, you can select multiple base funds from a range of fund providers.
On top of your base fund selection, you can also choose your own self-select investments.
