I’m often asked about the performance of my client’s super in comparison to a seemingly similar investment strategy within some common industry funds. As the Financial Review article explains, when you dig a little deeper, it is far from a fair comparison when ‘some funds’ invest a lot more aggressively than their fund name implies. Unfortunately this means that in a market downturn, these funds will be far more exposed to negative returns than a true to label fund.
