What happened
Aware Super published performance figures showing its High Growth investment option delivered an annualised return of 9.63% p.a. over the ten years to 30 June 2026. Performance across lifecycle options for members aged 55 and under achieved 9.29% p.a. over ten years and a 7.50% 1-year return to July 2026, supported by strong long-term market holdings.
Why it matters here
For Australian superannuation investors, asset allocation remains the main driver of retirement wealth over time. Strong multi-year returns from high-growth options show the downside of shifting into conservative cash options prematurely during temporary volatility. Maintaining growth returns above inflation during super accumulation stages remains vital to counter persistent living cost increases.
