But we do stand ready to take advantage of opportunities.
The way I describe it is, look, we're not playing T20 here.
We're playing test match.
Actually, given the last English series, I should say we're playing a test series.
We're not playing a three-day test match.
But we do have a longer term view.
We're prepared.
We're not trying to hit every ball for six.
We're basically playing the long game here.
That's the way we think about it.
And in terms of building portfolios, it's trying to build a portfolio, especially when we think about what we call our diversified investment options, where
Someone says, well, I'm a conservative investor.
I'm going to invest in your conservative portfolio.
We'll take that money and we will allocate it across a whole range of asset classes, but particularly asset classes that tend to be more conservative, such as bonds, term deposits and the like.
When we think about those diversified options, we need to build portfolios that are very well diversified, that you're going to have a collection of assets in there that will do two things.
Firstly, deliver what's on the tin.
Does this collection of assets, is it likely to deliver a return that's consistent with what we put into the paperwork?
So for example, if we tell our members that in our high growth option, we're aiming to do, say, 4% above CPI after fees and after tax,
we need to make sure that portfolio is capable of doing that.
So we need a broad range of opportunities to invest in.
