Financial Standard Comments - Retail funds favour lifecycle MySuper options More than half of all retail funds offering MySuper products have adopted a lifecycle approach, while all but four industry funds have opted for static strategic asset allocation (SAA), according to research by Mercer. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=37435469 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 14:45:56 +1100 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 14:45:56 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Jane Blewit (Jbs)

Trustees know default members balances, they could provide different asset allocations based different balances rather than a one size fits all SAA!

Even better they know the balance, how much it grew last year, their age and that they are likely to retire at age 65. They should project default members retirement balances, split the members into different groups using this and provide each group a different SAA. Now that would be acting in members best interest - it may even lead to member engagement.
