3 It is always pleasing to be able to report to members that their retirement savings are growing strongly and we are happy to be able to say this as we close the books for In a nutshell, 2017 was a good year. Whilst our portfolios were positioned for equities to outperform, we were not anticipating high double-digit gains. Yet some regions delivered just that. In local currency terms, the US was up 21%, emerging markets up 30%, Japan up 22%, Europe and Australia up 12%. Even after allowing for a stronger Australian dollar domestic investors fared well holding international assets. Equity markets were fuelled by many factors; improved, synchronised global growth, better corporate earnings across a broader range of sectors, low inflation, little evidence of any emerging inflationary pressure and central bank comments which enforced that policy changes will remain gradual. The recently approved tax package in the US also boosted sentiment into year end. Overall, 2017 was an economic sweet spot which was incredibly supportive for asset classes including equities, property, infrastructure and private equity. This has been a long expansion period (starting in 2009) and as per past cycles each additional year of positive performance brings us closer to a turning point. Predicting the maturity of a cycle is fraught with difficulty. There are some tell-tale signs that could suggest we are close to the top; rife speculation in crypto currencies such as Bitcoin (up close to 2000%), the very low level of both realised and expected volatility and strong business, consumer and investor sentiment which can often suggest complacency. However, many equity markets such as Europe, Japan and Australia are still far from bubble levels and even though the US has run hard, it hasn t pushed into excessive levels just yet. You could say that that we remain in a not too hot, not too cold environment which should continue to support equity markets through That said, the uncertainty we are faced with is; how far can interest rates rise without becoming negative for equity markets? The US has raised rates 5 times but globally conditions remain accommodative. A key focus for 2018 will be how central banks proceed to wind back their accommodative policy and whether inflation shows signs of life on the back of stronger wages growth given very low unemployment in the US and stronger commodity prices. For some time now we have held a higher exposure to international equities, favouring parts of Europe, the emerging markets and sectors such as US financials. Choosing sectors and regions will become increasingly important over 2018 as we expect trading conditions will become more volatile. We continue to hold an underweight to Australian shares. While the Australian economy should do OK in 2018, Australian industrial companies are challenged by weak consumer and credit growth. Resource companies may do better but supply, demand dynamics suggest that gains will be capped. We maintain a lower exposure to bonds because we think these assets are more vulnerable to weakness if there is any sign of emerging inflation and current yields are not compensating us for risk. We also hold a lower exposure to other interest rate sensitive assets such as property. This begs the question: how are we managing the risk of higher inflation in our more conservative options that have a much higher allocation to interest rate sensitive assets? There has been much debate about the defensiveness and diversifying nature of bonds in the current environment where yields are already very low and expected to rise (which causes bond prices to fall). We remain very focussed on this dynamic for our older cohorts and how we position these portfolios in this unique environment. Whilst we have typically held a lower weight to bonds in favour of cash, we are also acutely cognisant of increasing diversification by investing in alternative strategies which move less to the rhythm of bond and equity markets. We are focussed on inflation protected strategies, more targeted bond market opportunities and whilst growth assets have a very important role to play in these conservative portfolios, we are mindful of increased volatility and have been holding equity protection strategies to mute the impact of any significant correction. All in all, we finish 2017 and start 2018 on an optimistic note. For our MySuper members, annual returns have been positive since launch in This performance keeps us on track to meet our overarching objective of delivering members a comfortable retirement outcome. We thank you for your support of the MySuper lifecycle options, and look forward to another successful year ahead.

4 AMP MYSUPER 1990S THE 1990S INVESTOR AMP MySuper 1990s is for younger Australians, most of whom will have just entered the workforce. As these members are at the beginning of their working life, their investment horizon is very long-term. Their focus is on aggressively growing their superannuation portfolio. The best way for them to do this is by investing in asset classes that are expected to generate the highest returns. This is why AMP MySuper 1990s invests primarily in shares, also with exposure to property and alternative assets such as private equity and infrastructure. Of course, higher returns also means greater risk, but this makes sense for younger members. Because retirement is decades away for these members, they have more time to weather the ups and downs of the market and recover from any market losses while still building wealth over the long term. 4 AMP MYSUPER

The AMP MySuper 1990s Fund returned a strong 4.6% in the December quarter. Encouraging economic releases and robust corporate earnings results boosted investor sentiment globally, which reflected favourably on risk-based assets. Along with a strong quarterly result, the Fund s performance for 2017 was extremely good. The acceleration in synchronised global growth in markets over the year provided the foundation for strong performance across most asset classes. The long held underweight exposure to Australian equites in favour of international equites (primarily through European equities) was positive for Fund returns, with global markets outperforming the domestic market. Supportive currency movements, improved corporate earnings and lower than anticipated geopolitical risks were the key drivers of growth in developed international markets. By contrast, lacklustre corporate earnings, regulatory pressures, and a lack of wage growth weighed on the performance of Australian equities. However, the market was still able to deliver double digit returns on the back of stronger commodity prices and global growth. Emerging market equities were also a key driver of Fund performance on the back of these factors. The Fund s other growth investments such as property, infrastructure and alternatives (private equity, hedge funds) were all also solid contributors to Fund returns over the year. For the start of 2018, we remain relatively comfortable in maintaining a bias towards international equities through Europe. With a maturing business cycle in the US, increasing global equity valuations and gradual tightening of global monetary policy, markets could see some volatility through We have utilised option protection to mitigate any downside in Fund performances caused by a correction in equity markets. 100% DEFENSIVE 94.5% Growth 5.5% Defensive % of growth Assets GROWTH Age (years) AMP MYSUPER 5

6 AMP MYSUPER 1980S THE 1980S INVESTOR Members in AMP MySuper 1980s are aged in their late twenties/early thirties. As such, they still have the majority of their working life ahead of them. Their priority is rapid accumulation of assets in order to build a base from which superannuation wealth can grow. This priority means investing in higher return asset classes. Higher returns mean more rapid growth in portfolio value. AMP MySuper 1980s invests primarily in shares, also with exposure to property and alternative assets such as private equity and infrastructure. This is a higher risk strategy, but is appropriate for members born in the 1980s. As it is a long time before they will retire, these members have more time to recover from any market declines and can afford to take on a high degree of risk while working towards their accumulation objective. 6 AMP MYSUPER

8 AMP MYSUPER 1970S THE 1970S INVESTOR Though firmly established in their careers with a decade or two of work experience, members of AMP MySuper 1970s still have a substantial portion of their working life ahead of them. Retirement remains in the distant future, so the primary goal remains growth and expansion of their growing superannuation portfolio. This goal translates to a mix of assets still taking on risk to grow the portfolio, with shares comprising the largest holding. Alongside shares are meaningful weights to property and alternative assets such as private equity and infrastructure which, though growth in nature, play a diversifying role against the share market. The investment time horizon for AMP MySuper 1970s members can still be considered long-term, so a higher risk strategy is still appropriate. Time is on the side of these members, they have time to bounce back from any declines in portfolio value due to market fall. 8 AMP MYSUPER

10 AMP MYSUPER 1960S THE 1960S INVESTOR AMP MySuper 1960s investor could be considered to be at somewhat of a superannuation crossroad. They have worked hard to build a sound superannuation asset base in order to fund their retirement goals. That retirement is still a way off, but looming ever-larger. The asset mix of AMP MySuper 1960s reflects this point in their life. On one hand, asset accumulation remains a clear priority; the option must seek out higher returns in order to continue to grow the superannuation base. Accordingly, growth assets such as shares comprise more than half of the portfolio. On the other hand, the need to protect the existing capital base has become increasingly greater as members edge towards retirement. This requires a decent position in more defensive assets that will provide more downside protection. With its meaningful exposures to bonds and cash, the 1960s option provides for this. 10 AMP MYSUPER

11 FUND OBJECTIVE AMP MySuper 1960s aims to achieve an average rate of return above the Consumer Price Index of 3.0 per cent per annum, after fees and superannuation tax, over a 10 year period.

12 AMP MYSUPER 1950S THE 1950S INVESTOR Members in AMP MySuper 1950s are approaching the end of their working life and, as such, are beginning to focus more intently on preparing for retirement. After many years in the workforce, these members have built up a solid superannuation base, but as they are near to retirement, their investment horizon is relatively short. Therefore, we are conservative in terms of the degree of investment risk taken in AMP MySuper 1950s. Some exposure to shares and other risky assets is necessary to continue to grow the portfolio to fund retirement, however, the asset mix of the 1950s option reflects a moderately risk-averse strategy overall, designed first and foremost to protect the capital members have built. Around half of the option is invested bonds, cash and other defensive assets. This limits the potential impact of share market falls and other market shocks on members retirement savings. 12 AMP MYSUPER

13 FUND OBJECTIVE AMP MySuper 1950s aims to achieve an average rate of return above the Consumer Price Index of 2.0 per cent per annum, after fees and superannuation tax, over the relevant time period.

Encouraging economic releases and robust corporate earnings results boosted investor sentiment globally, which reflected favourably on risk-based assets. Along with a strong quarterly result, the Fund s performance for 2017 was extremely good. The acceleration in synchronised global growth in markets over the year provided the foundation for strong performance across most asset classes. The Fund s allocation towards defensive assets, particularly fixed interest, had little impact on overall performance. With central banks beginning to tighten monetary policy and investors shifting to a risk on environment, yield-driven assets underperformed the Fund s equity allocation. The long held underweight exposure to Australian equites in favour of international equites (primarily through European equities) was positive for Fund returns, with global markets outperforming the domestic market.

14 THE CAPITAL STABLE INVESTOR AMP MySuper Capital Stable is designed for members aged in their sixties and beyond and already in retirement. As these members are no longer earning a full working salary, they are no longer contributing to their superannuation account. The focus is on protecting the balance they have built. This is particularly important as members will be looking to this superannuation balance to generate the income stream required to fund their ongoing expenses and lifestyle. Capital preservation is the priority. Reflecting this priority, AMP MySuper Capital Stable comprises a mix of predominantly lower risk assets such as bonds and cash. Where there is investment in more growth-oriented assets, the preference is for more defensive, yieldfocused types like global listed property. This makes for a more stable return profile, and supports the income generation requirements of the Capital Stable option. AMP MYSUPER CAPITAL STABLE 14 AMP MYSUPER
