Enhanced Indexed Growth This option has around 72% allocation to growth assets including local and international shares, alternatives, fixed interest and cash.

Enhanced Indexed Conservative Growth This option invests in a similar mix of asset classes as the Enhanced Indexed Growth option, however it has much more exposure towards defensive assets like cash. | Medium |
|
Indexed Australian Listed Property This option invests almost exclusively in Australian listed property assets. | High |
|
Indexed Diversified Shares This option invests entirely in Australian and international shares. | High |
|
Cash This option is 100% defensive, with the entire balance invested in cash. | Very Low |

What insurance does Kogan Super offer?
When you join Kogan Super, you can access the following types of insurance cover through your super:
- Total and permanent disablement cover. This type of cover provides a lump sum payment if you become totally and permanently disabled and can no longer work.
- Death cover. This policy provides a lump sum payment when you die, allowing you to provide for your loved ones and help them repay debts.
A default level of this cover will be available automatically when you join (if you're eligible), and you can opt to increase your cover at any time.
