The annual performance test
Every year the regulator tests most super products against a benchmark portfolio — fail twice and the product must close to new members. As at 30 June 2025, 4 of this fund's products and options were tested, and every one of them passed:
| Product / option | Type | Test result | 10-yr return | Admin fee |

| Choice - accumulation — Growth Super Option | Choice | Pass | 7.9% | 0.2% |

Does the insurance pay out?
Most super accounts carry insurance, paid from your balance. The admittance rate is the share of finalised claims the insurer accepted in the year to 30 June 2025 — the single best number for "does this cover actually pay". Over the year it collected A$14.8m in premiums and paid out A$14.6m in claims (claims paid in a year often relate to earlier years' cover, so this is a cash-flow picture, not a loss ratio).
| Cover type | Claims accepted (1-yr) | Claims paid | Premiums collected | Insurer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life insurance (death cover) | 93.9% | A$5.9m | A$4.8m | AIA Australia Ltd, TAL Life Limited |
| Total & permanent disability (TPD) | 92.3% | A$5.5m | A$4.8m | AIA Australia Ltd, TAL Life Limited |
| Income protection | 92.4% | A$3.2m | A$5.3m | TAL Life Limited, Windsor Income Protection Pty Ltd (AMIST) |
