Legacy retail fund product

Retail fund brand
Nationwide Super offers an age-based default, a personalised GoalTracker Plus strategy and a menu for members who want to choose investments themselves.
Employer and personal membership terms differ, particularly for automatic insurance.
Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.
The costs and returns belong to the selected product, option or lifecycle stage.
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 | Nationwide Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | The current Acclaim disclosure library explicitly labels AMG Personal Super and Pension as closed to new members. Sources1234 | Employer and personal membership terms differ, particularly for automatic insurance. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | Legacy AMG Personal Super and Pension. Sources1234 | Nationwide Super products within Russell Investments Master Trust. Sources123 |
| 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 | GoalTracker MySuper adjusts by age. GoalTracker Plus uses information the member supplies; members can instead choose diversified, low-carbon, sector or indexed options. Sources123 |
| Insurance | Occupation-rating and insurance application documents remain in the disclosure library. Existing cover depends on the member's product and policy terms. Sources1234 | Eligible employer members receive automatic Death and TPD. Income Protection requires an application and insurer acceptance. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Pension documents remain available for existing members. A legacy pension's rules should be checked before changing accounts. Sources1234 | Check the current retirement product documents and advice service for the account you plan to use. Sources123 |
| 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 | A Super Adviser service can help with investments and insurance. Ask what is included and what incurs a fee. Sources123 |
| 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 | Use Nationwide's own insurance, fees and costs guide. A shared Russell APRA product label is not evidence that all brands have identical costs. Sources123 |
| 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 | Published returns are net of investment fees, investment taxes where applicable and the trustee administration fee. GoalTracker Plus members should use their own statement for personalised returns. Sources123 |

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth examining for someone who wants help setting an investment strategy but wants to retain the option to build their own mix.
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.
