Why are younger members being invested in more growth assets?

Growth assets can experience more short-term ups and downs, but they also have the potential to deliver higher returns over the long term. The updated MySuper design recognises that younger members generally have many years before they need to access their super and are therefore better placed to ride out periods of market volatility. By allocating more to growth assets for longer, the new design aims to give members greater opportunities to grow their super over the long term and support stronger retirement outcomes.
