As at 30 June 20251
Australian and global fixed income returns were positive over the quarter, with Australian bonds generally outperforming global markets.
World share markets enjoyed strong returns over the June quarter, despite ongoing concerns over global trade, and attacks on Iran and its nuclear infrastructure by Israel and the US.
After share prices fell sharply in early in April in response to President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff announcements, the president’s decision soon after to pause most of those tariffs for 90 days sparked a massive resurgence in world share markets.
Our unlisted asset portfolios generally underperformed public markets in the quarter, particularly given the strong returns from equity markets.
The 10-year accumulation return of 4.83% remains above the option’s CPI plus 1.5% return objective.
In the SuperRatings survey for June2025, the performance of our Conservative option was behind the median fund over shorter time periods but comfortably ahead of the median over 5, 7, and 10 years to the end of June 2025.

As at 30 June 2025
We continue to hold a substantial allocation to the key unlisted asset classes – real estate, infrastructure, private equity and private debt. As a large superannuation fund, we have well-diversified portfolios of these assets that we expect will deliver strong, long-term returns, while reducing our members’ exposures to share market volatility.
We don't design portfolios based on short-term economic, market or geopolitical forecasts. However, our investment team and external investment managers still seek to capitalise on opportunities that inevitably emerge during times of heightened market volatility.
At the end of June 2025, our active asset allocation slightly favoured bonds over shares and cash. We also sought to take advantage of significant differences in relative value between countries. Within the shares allocation, we preferred Japanese shares over shares in the US and Australia. In fixed income, we were overweight in France, UK, Italy and Australia and maintained underweight positions in Canadian, German and Japanese bonds. Our currency exposure is underweight the US dollar, while favouring Asian and Latin American currencies.
