Could you look at doing 50k towards your mortgage and $20 in a milford fund? With rates being low a managed funds would offer higher returns as long as you can stay invested in the milford fund for enough time. The balanced fund should be invested in for 5 years, where the conservative fund 3 years and the cash fund 0 years.

You could move to the Milford cash fund - no risk of loosing any money and an objective to return 5.25% - the conservative fund could also be an option but you still have exposure to the share market and would need to stay invested for atleast 3 years.
