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.
| What to compare | Centric Super | Freedom of Choice Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Designed for members working with a financial adviser. Confirm the available service and minimum balance with the adviser. Sources123 | The current disclosure library provides separate application forms for personal super and pension. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Centric Super accumulation and retirement accounts. Sources123 | Freedom of Choice Personal Super and Pension. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | Centric Choice provides a broad investment menu. Centric One centres on multi-asset model portfolios, with consolidated online reporting. Sources123 | The menu includes more than 150 managed funds, approved ASX300 shares and ETFs, term deposits and a cash account. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Insurance arrangements should be checked in the current super disclosure and the proposal supplied by your adviser; investment-platform access alone does not establish your cover. Sources123 | An insurance guide and occupation-rating forms set out the available cover. Do not assume the terms match Acclaim Core or an employer arrangement. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | The platform supports transition-to-retirement and pension accounts. Sources123 | A personal pension account is available with separate application and product terms. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | Portfolio selection is part of an advised service. Ask for the ongoing advice scope and fee in writing. Sources123 | Adviser nomination and advice-fee consent forms are part of the service. Confirm who will make investment decisions and what they will charge. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Add the platform and account charges, cash-account margin, investment costs, transaction costs and any adviser remuneration. A monthly account fee alone does not describe the whole cost. Sources123 | Use Freedom of Choice's own reference guide and July 2026 updates. Platform, investments, transactions, cash and advice can all contribute to the cost. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | There is no single Centric return. Compare the actual model or selected holdings after all relevant costs, using a consistent period and risk level. Sources123 | Evaluate the selected managed funds or the member's complete portfolio; another AMG Super product's return is not a substitute. Sources1234 |

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
May suit a member working with an adviser who needs this menu and has compared its total cost with alternatives.

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.
