Yes, if you believe the stock market is about to fall by 30% soon like you say, you can minimise the damage to your superannuation balance by selecting investment options with less exposure to Australian and international shares. Keep in mind though that fixed interest is also likely to be adversely affected by rising interest rates, and listed and unlisted property will be too. You could park your money in cash but that would give a very low return, though you may be willing to earn very little waiting for share markets to drop considerably, before you re-enter stocks at a discount.
It’s also very hard to time the switching of investments right. For most people who’ve invested their super in balanced or growth-oriented investment options, they would’ve already seen a decline in their account balance. If you think the market has just started falling and there’s more to go in this downward leg, you’d want to act soon
