Video transcript

Did you know that when your employer pays a portion of your salary into your super account, the money doesn't just sit there like a bank account?

BUSSQ invests your money to help your nest egg grow.

BUSSQ has several investment options to choose from with each option carrying a different level of risk.

More risk can mean higher returns, but also more volatility. Meaning your balance can either go up or down, just like the share market.

Less risk means your balance won't go up and down as much, but it may also mean you won't have enough to live the lifestyle you want in retirement.

Depending on your age, you may be able to take more risk as you may have more time to grow your balance for retirement.

BUSSQ has an investment risk calculator to help you assess how much risk you feel comfortable taking to grow your balance. Go to bussq.com.au to try it.
