“What is the value of the YFYS test?” shows that the test, applied retroactively to a global pension database, adds 8bps of value.
SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A new report released today by CEM Benchmarking (CEM), one of the world�s most authoritative pension fund researchers, reveals the effectiveness of the Your Fund, Your Super (YFYS) test when applied against a global set of large institutional investors over a nearly 30-year period.
The test, first administered to Australian superannuation funds in 2021 by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), poses an existential threat to any fund that fails the test two years in a row. With the results of the second test coming in only a few months time, this research helps answer questions raised around the tests ability to accurately identify poor-performing funds.
In the competitive Australian superannuation market, the YFYS test will almost certainly come under attack by those that fail. Our 30 years, 1000+ fund database of global pension assets is uniquely positioned to answer questions of test efficacy, persistence of failure, and features of funds that fail the test said Dr. Alexander D. Beath, a senior research analyst at CEM and lead author of the study.
CEM found that the test has efficacy, and that over long periods the test preferentially picks out funds that not only performed poorly in the past, but that performed poorly in the future as well, a key feature of good performance test. Obviously, if youve had poor results in the past, the test will pick up on that. More important is the fact that the test picks up on funds that do poorly in the future, which the YFYS test does added Beath.
Research findings include:
