If investment growth is less than expected, you may need to make additional contributions to provide the benefits you have planned for. The wide range of investments that you can select will have different levels of risk attached to them, and future investment performance cannot be guaranteed. Some investments may not be readily realisable, and there may be a delay or you may not be able to liquidate the investment when you choose to. We recommend that you consult a financial adviser when looking at different investment options and the options available to you when you wish to take your benefits.Can I change my investments?
