Types of investments generally include – low-interest savings accounts or cash and have a short time frame of less than 1 year if some or all the funds need to be accessed for use.

The average 10-year return is likely 0-2% per annum.

Conservative Investor 

You are seeing better than basic returns, but risk must be low, typically an older investors seeking to protect their wealth without the need to achieve a balanced return.

May have a larger portfolio to use over the long term. Types of investments generally include – a mix of cash, bonds, and fixed interest like term deposits and about 30% invested in property, commodities, or stocks/shares.

The average 10-year return is likely to be between 2-3% per annum. Usually invested for 1-3 years if some or all the funds need to be accessed for use.

Balanced Investor

Managed and calculated risks are acceptable for increased tax-free capital growth return potential. Types of investments generally include – a mix of cash, bonds, and fixed interest like term deposits and about 70% invested in property, commodities, or stocks/shares.

The average 10-year return is likely between 7-9% per annum. Usually invested for 5-10 years if some or all the funds need to be accessed for use. 

Aggressive Investor

You’re prepared to compromise portfolio balance to pursue more significant long-term tax-effective returns. Your investment choices are diverse but carry a higher level of risk.

Maximised tax-free capital growth return potential is more important than the return of investment due to the long-term timeline exit strategy. Types of investments generally include – a small mix of cash, bonds, and fixed interest like term deposits and about 99% invested in property, commodities, or stocks/shares.

The average 10-year return is likely between 9-11% per annum. Usually invested for 10 years + if some or all the funds need to be accessed for use.
