Self Select
Grow your retirement your own way
Plum Retirement Income - Self Select
Plum Retirement Income offers a Self Select Investment Path. Unlike Cultivator it doesn’t use the automated rebalancing tools, but relies on you to select and monitor your investment portfolio.
Self Select lets you choose from six investment pots and use your green thumb to make the investment choices that suit your personal needs and tolerance to investment risk. You can allocate varying percentages of your account to one or more of the six investment pots, and switch between these investment pots at any time.
If you’re seeking a transition to retirement pension, you can only invest in the Self Select Investment Path.
How your money is allocated in the Self Select Investment Strategy
Put your pension balance to work by choosing one or a combination of six investment options available to you, to suit your risk appetite.
Transition to retirement pension (pre-retirement phase)
MLC Cash
This pot invests in deposits with banks and may also invest in other comparable high quality securities.

This pot aims to provide limited ups and downs in investment value by investing primarily in defensive assets.
MLC Conservative Balanced
This pot aims to provide a balanced mix of assets, steady long-term returns and moderate investment volatility.
MLC Balanced
