AvSuper end of quarter update

A year into the pandemic and we are pleased to say that AvSuper has continued serving our members and not had any cases within our team. The pandemic, fires and floods have had a huge impact on our lives which makes the need to save for the future more obvious.

Obviously the world is still in a state of flux as COVID-19 continues its spread and the vaccines are being rolled out. Financial markets in general are keeping investors on their toes and will for all of 2021, with the first quarter throwing up all sorts of surprises.

The bond market had one of its biggest selloffs in decades whilst commodity prices and inflation expectations continued to increase and supposedly 'safe haven' sectors such as gold crashed. Overall the stock market continued to climb with the S&P 500 in the US hitting 4000 points in early April.

This makes for a mixed bag of returns across AvSuper’s portfolio but all in line with our options' risk profiles. Our growth options have done well, whereas the more conservative options have stayed conservative and Cash is not expected to do well any time soon.

Closer to home, AvSuper is pleased to welcome some new staff to our team recently. Jess and Scott have joined our Member Advice Team while Michael has started as our new CEO. We are looking forward to their input to our team and thus to our members.

We also remind you that we are experienced in retirement decisions. So whether you are looking at changing your investment strategy or restructuring your payments, we invite you to discuss your options with us. Appointments can be face to face or via phone or an online platform.
