The costs and returns belong to the selected product, option or lifecycle stage.

Source: APRA Comprehensive Product Performance Package 2026, published 28 August 2026. Fees reflect the reporting year to 30 June 2026, are net of tax, use standard arrangements and exclude member-activity fees. Dollar figures are rounded. They are not a current quote. Check the latest PDS for changes, insurance premiums and any separately charged advice.

Returns are annualised historical results. Different return bases, risk levels and periods cannot be treated as interchangeable. MySuper net returns use a $50,000 representative balance even when you change the fee balance. A lifecycle stage return does not track a person moving between stages. Missing figures mean not reported, not zero. Past returns do not predict future returns. Read our method and APRA's definitions.

Investment choices

The disclosed investment service includes listed securities, term deposits and cash arrangements. Existing members should check their own current menu before placing an instruction.

Sources1234

Some contracts provide a guaranteed rate or income; others have cash or market-linked features. There is no single investment menu or balanced option that represents the whole fund.

Sources123
Insurance

Occupation-rating and insurance application documents remain in the disclosure library. Existing cover depends on the member's product and policy terms.

Sources1234

Term Life is a separate insurance product in the fund. Holding a pension does not mean a member has that insurance.

Sources123
Retirement income

Pension documents remain available for existing members. A legacy pension's rules should be checked before changing accounts.

Sources1234

Income, withdrawal rights and indexation depend on the original contract. Fixed terms may have break costs, while some lifetime pensions have no withdrawal value.

Sources123
Advice and support

An adviser can review whether the existing account still serves the member's portfolio and retirement needs; product closure alone does not establish that switching is better.

Fee details to check

Read AMG Personal's PDS with the July 2026 product and administrator updates. Use its own costs, not Acclaim Core's managed-option pricing.

Comparing investment performance

Returns depend on the investments held. Historical AMG MySuper returns should not be presented as the performance of every AMG Personal account.

Do not present this fund as an available destination for a new accumulation account.

Guaranteed-income contracts and ordinary market investment options need different comparisons.

Editorial assessment

Relevant to existing members comparing their current arrangement with available alternatives.

What deserves a closer look

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Challenger Retirement Fund

Editorial assessment

This entry is useful for someone trying to understand an existing policy. A modern super comparison can miss the promise built into a legacy pension. Start with the contract, its payment schedule and any surrender value before weighing a change.

Who this profile is for

  • Existing policyholders and pensioners reviewing their entitlements.
  • People helping a family member identify an older Challenger policy.

What deserves a closer look

  • The fund's closed status does not mean every product sold under the Challenger brand is closed.
  • A guarantee, if provided, has terms and a named provider. Check both in the contract.
  • Legacy pension exit rules and the treatment of benefits require a separate assessment; a fee table cannot establish whether leaving is worthwhile.

Before choosing between AMG Personal Super and Pension and Challenger Retirement Fund

Use the membership rules to establish which accounts are available to you. Then compare the total price of the investment option and cover you need. A lower fee or higher historical return alone does not tell you which fund is suitable.

Ask both funds to confirm insurance acceptance, exclusions, waiting periods and whether cover would change when you leave your employer. Obtain advice before giving up a defined benefit or an insurance policy you may not be able to replace. ASIC Moneysmart explains the comparison checks.
