When you want the convenience of a ready-made, diversified investment option
Suiting investors with a long-term investment horizon who choose not to engage a Financial Adviser but want the choice of ready-made investment options. Choose from two categories of ready-made, and diversified investment options.

Futurity’s ready-made managed and blended options:
Diversified options:
We’ve hand-picked these multi-sector, diversified investment options for you to choose from. Each investment option generally invests into a single underlying fund manager of a leading professional investment manager, who invests to create a diversified portfolio of assets.
This category offers both indexed and actively management investment styles.
Enjoy the flexibility to tailor and manage your investment in a way that suits your specific needs
Sector-specific options:
When you want to have a more actively managed approach to investing, our sector-specific options may suit if you want to construct and manage your Bond’s individual investment mix. This category has underlying funds with specialist managers who concentrate on a single asset class, such as Australian or international equities, emerging markets, Australian or international fixed income and Australian property investments.
This category also includes three equities focused responsible investment options that are managed in accordance with ESG factors and follow sustainable investment principles.
Across our entire investment menu we aim to invest in excess of 90% of total funds under management with investment managers who are signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPR) and/or the United National Global Compact (UNGC), of which we are a signatory of.
Look out for our responsible investing icon on the investment options menu below to identify those funds managed by Responsible Investment specialist managers. These managers focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors and follow sustainable investment principles.
Keep your eye out for this symbol to identify the Responsible Investment options.
