* 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 31 October 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.

What are sustainability options and are they right for you?

 

Some people want to invest in line with their values. They want to invest, for example, in companies that may deliver solutions to climate change, manage waste sustainably or provide affordable housing.

 

At the same time, people may 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 this. In fact, research suggests 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.
