20 Aug Why super and growth assets like shares really are long term investments
Key Points
- While growth assets like shares go through bouts of short term underperformance versus bonds and cash, they provide superior long-term returns. So, it makes sense that superannuation has a high exposure to them.
- The best approach is to simply recognise that occasional sharp falls in share markets and hence super funds are normal and that investing in both is a long-term investment.
