It includes an exposure to both developed country overseas equity and emerging market equity. The percentage allocation to emerging markets is set equal to the weight of emerging markets in the MSCI All Countries World (ex-Australia) Index. It aims to outperform an average of the return on the MSCI World (ex-Australia) Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, weighted by the relative contributions of each to the MSCI All Countries World (ex-Australia) Index (before fees and tax). MTAA Super reviews the proportion of emerging markets exposure annually.

Strategy: This option seeks high returns in the long term. The objective is to maintain a substantial diversified exposure to global market risk. The option consists of listed overseas shares in developed and emerging markets.
