GamblingOverview
The Local Government Super Cash investment option provides Australians with opportunity to responsible invest their cash and restrict exposure to controversial or high risk activities. The Cash strategy invests predominantly in short term Australian money market assets. In addition, a small proportion of the assets (up to 15%) are invested in global interest type assets having a longer maximum term. This gives this strategy greater exposure to higher returns than by just investing in short term domestic assets, with only a small increase in the overall volatility of the returns. This strategy offers investments for short term investors or those seeking less volatile returns.
