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 | AMG Personal Super and Pension | legalsuper |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | The current Acclaim disclosure library explicitly labels AMG Personal Super and Pension as closed to new members. Sources1234 | Check current employer-sponsored and personal membership terms. The account category matters when comparing fees and insurance. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Legacy AMG Personal Super and Pension. Sources1234 | Superannuation, pension and transition-to-retirement pension. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Members can choose managed options. Eligible accounts can also use the Direct Investment Option for ASX300 shares, selected ETFs, listed investment companies and term deposits. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Occupation-rating and insurance application documents remain in the disclosure library. Existing cover depends on the member's product and policy terms. Sources1234 | The fund has insurance options for its membership. Compare the actual policy and occupation category, rather than treating a legal-industry label or award as proof of value. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | Pension documents remain available for existing members. A legacy pension's rules should be checked before changing accounts. Sources1234 | Pension members have a managed menu and can access direct investment subject to its rules. Transition-to-retirement pension members cannot use the Direct Investment Option. Sources1234 |
| 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. Sources1234 | The fund provides member information and support. Personal financial advice should have a clear scope and agreed fee; only eligible super-related advice fees may be paid from the account. Sources1234 |
| 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. Sources1234 | Direct investing adds its own administration and other costs to the ordinary product schedule. Include these when comparing it with a pooled option or another direct-share facility. Sources1234 |
| 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. Sources1234 | A member who holds direct securities has a personal portfolio return. It is not meaningful to assign the MySuper return to that portfolio. Sources1234 |

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth examining for legal professionals or eligible members who want more investment control and will use the direct menu.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
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.
