4 Your investment choice As a member of the Towers Watson Superannuation Fund you have the flexibility to choose how your superannuation is invested. This is an important decision, as the amount of investment returns your super receives directly impacts the amount of your retirement savings and can affect your lifestyle in retirement. The Fund offers you five different options, each with a different investment mix. Each option has a different level of risk and expected return so that you can choose the option that best meets your investment goals. You must make an investment choice when you join the Fund or your application for membership of Category D or B cannot be processed and you will join the Fund as a Category I (Insurance only) member. Investing your super choice is available to all members of the Fund and applies to your total accumulation account balance and future contributions. You must choose one of the following five investment options: Aggressive Growth Balanced Moderate, or Cash. Understanding your personal situation Choosing the right option is a personal decision. Before choosing, spend some time thinking about your own personal circumstances and think about these issues. How much will I need when I retire? Financial experts say that to maintain your lifestyle in retirement, you may need an annual income of around 60% 70% of your final income when you retire. If your super will be your only form of income in retirement, you may be less inclined to take risks with your super. However, if you have other forms of income, such as property, or other savings and investments, or expect to receive a full or partial age pension, you may be more comfortable taking investment risks. How long before I will need my super? If it is many years before you will need your super, you have a long investment horizon. Short-term ups and downs in investments may be less of a concern. However, if you need your money in the short term, a more risky investment may not be appropriate. How do I feel about investment risk? Some of us, by nature, do not like to take risks with our money. If you re likely to lie awake at night worrying about your investments or will panic at the sight of negative returns, you may feel happier investing in moderate or lower-risk options. On the other hand, if you are comfortable with the fact that your super savings will go down as well as up, higher-risk options may be right for you. If you don t like to take risks, you need to remember that if you re too conservative with your investments, your super may not keep up with inflation, which would make you worse off in retirement. To help you make the right investment choice, it s important you understand some investment basics, which are outlined on the following pages. Making your choice If you are a new member, you should indicate your initial investment choice on the Fund s Membership Application. You can change your investment choice each month if you wish: Complete the Switching form, available from the Fund Administrator on or download it from the website at or Visit the Member Centre on the website and make your choice online. Changes to your investment option are effective from the start of each month. No switching fee or buy-sell spread applies to your initial choice or if you change your investment option. Please note neither the Trustee, Fund Administrator nor Human Resources will provide advice to you about your investment options. For more information about investing and choosing the right investment option, you should speak to a licensed financial adviser. Towers Watson Australia Pty Ltd has arrangements in place to help you with your financial planning. To speak to one of Towers Watson s licensed financial advisers, contact Susan Rio on (03) Discounted fees are available for employees of Willis Towers Watson and associated employers. Alternatively, the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) can help you locate a professional financial adviser near you. Call or visit for more details. 4 willistowerswatson.com
5 Learning the basics of investments Asset classes Most investments can be broadly grouped into five investment types: shares, alternative assets, property, fixed interest and cash. The Fund s five investment options differ in the combination of asset classes they use. The five asset classes can be grouped into two main categories: Return-seeking assets include shares, alternative assets and property. These assets generally offer higher returns over the long term than income assets. They also usually have a higher risk in the short term because returns can vary (or fluctuate) widely from year to year. Return-seeking assets may also experience periods of negative annual returns. Income assets include cash and fixed interest, such as Australian and international government bonds and corporate debt. They are generally regarded as lower-risk investments and offer lower expected returns over the long term compared with return-seeking assets. They also have a lower likelihood of negative annual returns. See page 6 for more information on the asset classes. Risk and return In the short term, risk generally refers to the potential for your super to fluctuate in value. Return is the amount of money earned by your super investment. Risk and return go hand-in-hand when you re investing. The higher the long-term return you re aiming for, the greater the risk that your money will fluctuate in value in the short term. That s because to achieve a high long-term return, you need to invest in a greater proportion of return-seeking investments, which tend to be more volatile than income assets. Year by year earnings from return-seeking assets tend to vary more than earnings from income assets. So there s a much greater risk that return-seeking investments will have a negative return in any one year. In the long term, risk can mean: Failing to have enough money in retirement. Choosing an investment option with lower risk of short-term fluctuations may mean you earn a lower return on your super. Over a long period, even a small difference in your investment earnings can make a big difference to your final benefit. This is mainly due to the principle of compounded earnings. On the other hand, it is also possible that an investment option with a high allocation to return-seeking assets could produce a large negative return in one year from which it takes many years to recover, compared to an investment option with more income assets. As a result, choosing an investment option with higher risk can also impact on your retirement savings, for example if asset values are depressed when you wish to retire. Your investment does not keep pace with inflation (e.g. CPI). If you choose an investment option that doesn t have much growth potential, your super may not keep up with inflation over the long term. Over time, prices for goods and services usually increase. If your retirement is some way off, your money won t buy as much by the time you retire as it does today. For more information about investment risks, see page 8. Short term vs. long term Generally, the following terms apply to super investments: Short term an investment period of up to three years. Medium term an investment period of three to seven years. Long term an investment period of seven years or more. 5 Product Disclosure Statement
6 HIGH Shares When you buy shares, you re buying part ownership of a company listed on a share market. This means that the value of your investment changes in line with the company s share price. Of all the asset types, shares have generally earned the highest return in the long term. However, on the downside, the value of shares will fluctuate more than any other main asset type. Shares also have the highest probability of negative earnings in the short term. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of Australian and international shares. To help minimise the impact of currency movements, a combination of hedged and unhedged international shares is used by the Fund (see pages 7 and 8). Alternative assets This is a broad category of investments and investment strategies that sit outside the traditional asset classes of shares, property, fixed interest and cash. It includes individual hedge funds, multi asset funds, derivatives and alternative credit. Alternative assets will typically perform differently to traditional asset classes. This means that investors often use alternative assets to help diversify their investment portfolios. On their own, alternative assets can produce high returns, but with the risk of high short-term volatility. However, when combined with traditional asset classes, their unique risk and return characteristics can help smooth longer-term returns and reduce volatility. LEVEL OF EXPECTED RISK AND RETURN Some of the options currently invest in funds of hedge funds, multi asset funds and alternative credit (see pages 10 to 13). Property Investing in property means investing in industrial, commercial or residential real estate. The value of your investment depends on the rental paid and on any increase or decrease in the property value. In general, property provides long-term returns in excess of inflation. Earnings have historically been less volatile over the long term than those produced by shares, and have been higher than those provided by cash or fixed interest. Property investments can either be direct or indirect. A direct property investment is where a property is purchased by a company to be held on behalf of investors. Indirect property refers to an investment in property that is made by purchasing units in a property trust or listed property securities. Some of the options currently invest in a portfolio of indirect (or listed) global property assets. Fixed interest Fixed interest investments (or bonds ) are issued by Australian and overseas governments, semi-government authorities and companies in return for cash. Interest is paid to investors over the life of the investment at either a fixed or variable rate (e.g. at a rate linked to inflation). The value of your investment depends on the interest paid and whether the value of the bond increases or decreases (with interest rate changes). Over the long term, interest-bearing investments have tended to provide higher returns than cash, but lower returns than shares and property. As their value can fluctuate, this asset class tends to be more volatile than cash, but generally less volatile than shares or property. Some of the options invest in a wide range of Australian and international fixed interest assets, including government and corporate bonds. Cash LOW You re investing in short-term fixed interest assets such as bank bills. Interest is paid on the amount you have invested. It is very unlikely that you ll lose money on a cash investment over a short period of time. However, cash investments may not always keep up with inflation. 6 willistowerswatson.com
7 terms explained To help you better understand the Fund and the basics of investing, we have defined some investment terms used in this guide. Funds of hedge funds Funds of hedge funds invest in a diverse range of hedge fund managers through the one investment. Hedge funds aim to achieve positive returns regardless of investment market conditions. They do this by using special financial instruments, including derivatives and a variety of other strategies, such as short selling. In isolation, hedge funds can be a volatile investment over the short term, but a fund of hedge funds can help diversify this risk by investing in a wide range of hedge fund managers, which means the Fund is less likely to be unduly exposed to any one hedge fund manager. Currency hedging Multi asset funds These funds invest in a variety of asset classes such as shares, government bonds, commodities and inflation-linked securities. They aim to keep a balanced risk profile through the market cycle by having a more dynamic approach to their asset classes. These products allow investment in each asset class at more reasonable prices than if each asset class was invested in directly. A portion of the Fund s assets is invested in a multi asset strategy called a risk parity fund. This fund aims to provide a balanced set of exposures to a number of different assets. This ensures performance is not reliant on any one economic outcome or asset class. Alternative credit Alternative credit assets are a special type of diversifying asset that invests in private debt. Hedging is a strategy to protect against, or at least reduce, a risk. For the Fund s international share assets, it specifically refers to currency risk (see page 8). The hedged portion of the Fund s international share assets is protected from foreign exchange movements while the unhedged portion is not protected. Derivatives The term derivative describes any financial product (such as futures or options) that has a value derived from another security, liability or index. Derivatives are commonly used in hedge funds. A portion of the Fund s assets is invested in funds of hedge funds (see above for details). The underlying managers for these investments may make use of derivatives to help achieve their objectives. The Fund s other investment managers only use derivatives for risk-control purposes or to more efficiently shift asset allocations. managers are required to have risk management processes in place in relation to the use of derivatives and the purposes for which they are used. The Trustee also has risk management processes in place and monitors the use of derivatives in the Fund through internal controls and external auditors. 7 Product Disclosure Statement
8 risks As with all investments, there are risks associated with a decision to invest in superannuation and also in choosing a particular investment option. The assets will perform differently at various times. Since each investment option invests in a different mix of assets, the risks of investing in each option are different. The main investment risks are described below. Inflation risk The rate of inflation may exceed the rate of return achieved on your investment. This effectively means that the purchasing power of your investment is reduced. This risk can be considered significant for the Cash option if investing over long periods. Liquidity risk Liquid assets are assets that can be readily converted to cash. Liquidity risk is the risk that some assets may not be able to be converted to cash when needed to pay benefits or process investment switches. This risk affects investments in all asset classes, except for cash. As a result, it can be considered a risk (to varying degrees) for all of the Fund s investment options, with the exception of the Cash option. Individual investment risk Individual investments can (and do) fall in value and returns may be positive or negative in any given year. This risk mainly affects investments in shares, property, multi asset funds and hedge funds, although it can also affect investments in fixed interest assets. As a result, it can be considered a risk (to varying degrees) for most of the Fund s investment options. Interest rate risk Changes in interest rates can have a positive or a negative impact directly or indirectly on investment value or returns. This risk affects all investments and can be considered a risk for all of the Fund s investment options. Currency risk When investments are made in other countries, if foreign currencies change in value relative to the Australian dollar, the value of the investment can change. This risk affects only investments overseas so can be considered a risk for options where a proportion of the assets are invested overseas. Most of the Fund s investment options invest overseas to varying degrees, so this risk may have an impact on returns achieved by all options (except Cash). The Trustee manages some of the currency risk by investing in some international investment vehicles which are hedged to the Australian dollar. Hedging usually involves either buying or selling one investment to protect against loss in another (for example, due to changes in the value of one currency relative to another currency). Derivatives risk The term derivative describes any financial product (such as futures or options) that has a value derived from another security, liability or index. Derivatives are commonly used in hedge funds. Risks associated with using these tools might include the value of the derivative failing to move in line with that of the underlying asset, potential illiquidity of the derivative, the hedge fund may not be able to meet payment obligations as they arise, and counterparty risk (where the counterparty to the derivative contract cannot meet its obligations under the contract). This can be considered a risk (to varying degrees) for all of the Fund s investment options (except Cash). Market risk Changes in investment markets resulting from changes in economic, political and legal conditions or market sentiment can affect the value of investments. This risk affects investments in all asset classes. As a result, it can be considered a risk (to varying degrees) for all of the Fund s investment options. 8 willistowerswatson.com
9 How investment choice works The Fund offers you five choices for the investment of your super. You must choose one of the five options for the investment of your accumulation account balance: Aggressive Growth Balanced Moderate, and Cash. Each of the options invests in a different mix of the asset classes and each has a different expected risk and return. Read pages 10 to 14 to learn more about each option. returns The investment return you receive on your accumulation accounts is the actual investment return (net of tax and investment fees) achieved by your chosen investment option. Positive earnings increase the amount in your accounts, while the amount in your accounts will be reduced if the investment earnings are negative. For more information on the taxes and fees deducted from investment earnings, see the Super Guide. Socially responsible investments The Trustee does not take into account social, ethical or environmental considerations or labour standards for the purpose of selecting, retaining or realising the Fund s investments. When the Fund s investment managers were selected, the Trustee did not consider whether the managers took these factors into account. Operational risk financial requirement reserve Super funds are required to set aside financial resources to address their operational risks. The Trustee has built up an operational risk reserve in the Fund for this purpose. The reserve has been built up to 0.25% of the Fund s net assets by transferring defined benefit assets to the reserve. The Trustee has decided that the operational risk reserve is invested in the same way as the Growth option. The Trustee updates members on the status of the reserve in the Annual Report. The reserve is monitored periodically by the Trustee to ensure that it remains close to 0.25% of Fund net assets. Interim rate returns are calculated each month. If your super needs to be paid out or you switch investment options before investment earnings can be determined, an interim rate will be used based on the daily movement in market indices up to the date your benefit is calculated. returns will be applied to your benefit up to the date of payment, consistent with your investment choice. The Fund s investment managers managers are shown each year in the Fund s Annual Report. The Trustee may change the Fund s investment managers and their products from time to time without prior notice to, or consent from, members. 9 Product Disclosure Statement
