While the positive returns provide a silver lining for members, there’s still a lot of uncertainty in the market as coronavirus numbers continue to spike.
Shelley said Equip’s investment team and its advisers are closely watching the markets and resetting strategies as market conditions change.
“Equip is doing all it can to ride through these adverse market movements and to make sure that our members’ retirement savings are poised for long-term growth as markets and economies reset and recover from the pandemic,” she said.
“Equip’s diversified options invest funds across a range of different assets to try to reduce the risk of losses when equity markets face unprecedented volatility as they did in March. Equip’s Balanced Growth option has a strong, long-term track record of delivering for members, particularly in tough times.”
