Professional managers work for you
The LGsuper Board of Directors is responsible for investing your money to achieve solid returns over the long term. Depending on the investment option you choose, your super is invested across a range of asset classes such as Australian shares, international shares, property, alternatives, fixed interest and cash.
The Board of Directors, working with expert asset consultants, has carefully selected a number of well known and trusted professional investment managers, who each have a specific area of investment expertise. By combining the skills of these managers, you can expect reduced risk and improved investment performance.
LGsuper has mostly chosen active style investment managers who aim to outperform other investment managers in the same markets. A portion of the Australian shares and International shares portfolios is invested passively through low cost investment managers to mirror the performance of the overall market.
