* The CFS risk measure for these High Growth options is Very High. While the gearing can magnify gains, it will always magnify losses. Minimum suggested timeframe to hold investments is at least 7 years. Investment returns and capital repayment are not guaranteed. Returns are for FirstChoice Wholesale Investments portfolios as at 29 February 2024, calculated on a cumulative year-on-year basis which are then annualised. Returns are after ongoing fees and expenses and net of superannuation earnings taxes. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. For more High Growth options, visit our Funds & Performance tool. Consider the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determinations before making an investment decision.

What are sustainability options and are they right for you?

 

Increasingly, people are investing in line with their values. They want to invest in companies that help deliver solutions to climate change, manage waste sustainably, improve education access, or provide affordable housing.

 

At the same time, people also want to avoid investing in products and services that do harm – such as tobacco, weapons, gambling and adult entertainment.

 

The good news is that you don’t need to sacrifice returns to invest in companies that do the right thing. In fact, research suggest that investing in companies that consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors can deliver stronger returns over the long term.i

Different investment strategies and timeframes have different levels of risk. As a general rule, the bigger the potential investment return, the higher the investment risk.
