Share markets fell slightly over the quarter due to fresh fears about increasing interest rates and inflation. But our investment strategy is prepared for volatile markets.

Our long-term investment strategy is designed to be highly diversified, knowing there will always be fluctuations. If one area of the market falls, this diversification acts as a buffer.

The good news is our Balanced pension option generated a small positive return for the quarter1, which was pleasing given the negative market backdrop. In fact, it's one of the top-performing balanced options over 10 years.1
