Investing

Your investment strategy can be as simple or as advanced as you need. Starting now is the best advice – whether you're ready to invest a little or a lot. Learn about the types of investments that suit your risk profile and your expectations for returns, or see a financial planning expert for some help. 

With professional access to industry reports and economic outlooks, a financial planner can save you time and provide investment expertise about diversification, balancing your portfolio and putting together the right investment package.

As a guaranteed strategy for new investors, consider starting with a Term Deposit4 and invest your funds for a set period and earn a competitive fixed high interest rate, or choose one of our high interest online savings accounts like Maxi Saver to invest cash and retain access to your money. 

To invest for your retirement, you might want a solution that lets you manage your super using Internet Banking, like BT Super for Life. Or you may have a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and be looking for a competitive rate of interest account like our DIY Super Saver, which is a high interest online investment account for SMSFs.

If you're considering shares or managed funds, we can make investing easier. To take control of your own share investments online, directshares1 is a low-cost effective option. If you want professional investment advice, see a St.George financial planner.

When you're ready to invest, we have the expertise to help.
