You can have multiple base funds and build on them by picking your own self-select investments, or leave it as-is. At least 50% of your investment plan must be allocated to base funds if you are using self-select.
Each base fund invests solely in a single underlying managed fund with its own investment mix, risk rating, and suggested timeframe. The returns you might expect will depend on the funds you choose.
There are currently six base funds to choose from:
Sharesies Milford Aggressive Fund
Sharesies Pathfinder Ethical Growth Fund
Sharesies Pie Fund Global Growth 2 Fund
Sharesies Superlife Growth Fund
Sharesies Superlife Balanced Fund
Sharesies Superlife Conservative Fund
