EMBRACE THE EV TRANSITION – USE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR FREE

With an electric vehicle (EV) revolution upon us and the ACT Government’s plan to phase out light Internal Combustion Engine vehicles by 2035, EV charging solutions will no longer be a “nice-to-have” but an expectation for the public and workplace staff.

ActewAGL, the trusted and largest EV infrastructure provider in the region, is helping local businesses to install EV charging solutions.

We’re also offering free advice to clubs in the ACT on everything from EV charging, commercial solar and hot water system upgrades.

Lease an EV for free

To help your club embrace the EV transition, ActewAGL is offering a free, two-week lease of the ActewAGL electric vehicle for your club staff to enjoy. All you need to do is agree to an obligation-free discussion about potential energy solutions for your club.

Getting started is easy

1. Contact the ActewAGL Energy Solutions team to discuss energy solutions, obligation-free.

2. Request the use of the Hyundai IONIQ.

3. ActewAGL will deliver the vehicle to your club and collect it at the end of the two-week period.

4. ActewAGL will cover all charging and insurance costs.

Understanding market volatility and super performance

What do changes in investment prices mean for your future retirement security?

While investments will rise and fall over time, it’s important to understand how swings in performance – known as market volatility – can affect your super.

Changes in investment prices are more noticeable in the short-term. And it’s not unusual to expect periods of volatilty.

Labour shortages, increased consumer spending and global supply chain issues have all affected investment performance recently. This has also contributed to rising inflation, which can increase market volatility, together with lower fixed interest and equity (share market) return.

And while central banks have been rapidly raising interest rates, the increased cost of borrowing has seen local and global investment markets underperforming.

Over the last 20 years, even significant market events, like the Global Financial Crisis, appear relatively smooth when looking at overall long-term growth1.

Diversification is one key to AustralianSuper’s long-term investment strategy, helping to stay resilient in the face of changing market conditions. And while it can be tempting to switch options, it is important to remember that super is a long term investment.
