How is FirstChoice Wholesale Pension structured?
When you are invested in FirstChoice Wholesale Pension, your money is combined with other investors' money in FirstChoice Wholesale Pension.
Each FirstChoice Wholesale Pension investment option is a separate investment option within this superannuation fund. Each investment option invests in an underlying 'pool' which is managed according to the investment option’s objectives.
In most cases, we are the responsible entity for the underlying pools, which are managed by each investment manager through a mandate arrangement.
There are a number of ways to keep the cash portion of your portfolio growing alongside your other investments. One of these ways is to use FirstRate deposit choices.
The benefits of FirstRate deposit choices are:
- Competitive interest rates
- No ongoing management fees
- You have the added reassurance that your money is on deposit with one of Australia’s leading financial institutions, Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
FirstRate Wholesale deposit choices give you a suite of options to choose from, based on your needs. These are:
- FirstRate Wholesale Investment Deposits
- FirstRate Wholesale Saver
- FirstRate Wholesale Term Deposits
Please consult the PDS and speak to your financial adviser for further information as each investment option has a different potential level of risk and return.
