A managed fund pools money from a group of investors and invests that money into a range of assets (such as shares, bonds, and cash).
You can open multiple accounts to help you manage different goals – like a new home or a holiday.
Each account needs an initial $500 investment and you get to choose the fund you're invested in for each account.
Your investment is held in an investment account. You get to choose a fund that best suits your savings goals, investment timeframe and attitude to risk.
Each fund has a different level of risk which depends on the type of assets it invests in.
Generally, the more risk you take on, the greater the potential for returns on your money over the long-term. However, this means you'll have to put up with seeing your account balance experience more extreme ups and downs more frequently than if you were invested in a lower risk fund.
You can choose to make regular contributions (minimum of $50).
Payments can be made weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or annually.
If you want to invest for your children, you can either open an account in your name and earmark that money for them, or you can open an account in their name – in which case once they turn 18, they’ll call the shots.
