Creating Economic Value For Members
As a result of our Member-owned structure, we deliver value for money, and we create economic value for Members. We pass financial benefits to Members through economic contributions, and when we make surpluses, they are invested right back into the organisation for the benefit of our Members.
With not-for-profit motives, Member contributions are not inflated to include shareholder profit. Unimutual passes its structural cost advantage on to Members through lower contributions, including an expense ratio substantially lower than general insurance companies.
In times of low claims or high investment returns, Unimutual generates and returns surpluses to Members through increased benefits. Our purpose is not about shareholder return, but to maximise the benefits provided to Members.
We stand beside and protect our Members in the higher education and research sector as they deliver benefits to our community over generations. We do not view our relationship as a year-by-year proposition. We will be there with you to meet your changing needs over the long-term.
