Pension investment options
Investing for your retirement
With MTAA Super, you’ve got control over how your money is invested with a choice of eight investment options.
You can choose just one option or spread your super across a mix of options. Each option has a different investment strategy and varying levels of risk and expected return.

Pre-mixed options |
Asset Class options |
Pre-mixed options invest in a range of asset classes. We do the work for you in deciding on the appropriate mix across different asset classes.
Asset Class options invest in a single asset class.
Performance matters
When it comes to super, it’s long-term performance that counts. Consider investment performance over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years as short-term term performance may not give you the full picture. To view performance, see below.
Daily Unit Prices - Pension
MTAA Super commenced Unit Pricing on 22 April 2017. For more information about the change to unit pricing refer to the Understanding Unit Pricing fact sheet.
Unit prices for the same investment options will be different depending on whether you hold a Superannuation, Transition to Retirement (TTR) or Pension account. This is because the earnings on assets in Superannuation and TTR accounts are subject to tax, whereas they are tax-free in Pension accounts.
IMPORTANT: From 1 July 2017 investment earnings on your MTAA Super TTR Pension are taxed at 15%.
