You should look at setting an investment strategy for a super fund in the same way as setting an investment strategy in any financial plan ie by having regard to the risk tolerance levels of the members and meeting their medium to long term objectives. 2. You should hold enough cash to allow the fund to meet expenses (including our fees) without the need to redeem investments. (This is typically 5% of the assets or $5,000.) 3. The ranges should be set so that monitoring can be done in a meaningful manner. The ranges should be set so that the fund can reasonably achieve them, say over the next 6-12 months. Do not fill in a category on the basis that you might invest in it one day. 4. Investing in assets not listed on a stock exchange may incur additional valuation costs to satisfy audit requirements. 5. You will need to complete a detailed investment strategy to cover non-standard investments or where the fund invests a large proportion in one asset. Please obtain a template for this from your financial planner. Non-Standard Assets The fund wishes to invest in assets that are not listed in the categories above. Please forward a non-standard investment strategy document for completion to (please tick one): The trustees; Our financial planner Depending on any restrictions in the trust deed or superannuation law, non-standard assets may include such things as: Shares in private companies Collectibles such as diamonds, first edition novels Units in private unit trusts Farms Artworks Non-standard assets are NOT such things as units in a widely held unit trust that invests in real estate. These should just be classified as Direct Property. Assets such as managed funds should be split over the underlying standard asset allocations. Investment strategies for non-standard assets will need to include the rationale for the selection of the particular investment and detailed risk management strategies put in place (eg storage and insurance for assets such as artworks or diamonds). Confirmations 1. In conjunction with my advisers, I have elected to adopt the above investment strategy for my fund and request the trustee give consideration to adopting this strategy; 2. I acknowledge that I have received, read and will retain a copy of the current fund Product Disclosure Statement; and 3. In the event that I determine, in conjunction with my adviser, to change this strategy I will seek the trustee s approval prior to implementation.
