Cbus is an active, prudent manager which aims to meet the needs of members by maximizing their retirement outcomes, measured by long-term net returns. Their investment strategies for each of their investment options offered are formulated by the trustee. To ensure that investment options designed are resilient and can be expected to meet their objectives over a variety of market conditions, the trustee uses a series of stress and scenario tests. An asset consultant assists the trustee in conducting the stress and scenario tests, with the aim to help identify how sources of return and risk factor exposures are likely to interact, including the impact on overall diversification, under different market conditions. When constructing and monitoring the investment strategies for their investment options, Cbus establishes internal targets.
