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.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on State Super NSW

Editorial assessment

The scheme name and membership history matter more than the State Super umbrella brand. Obtain an estimate under your own rules before comparing a pension or lump sum with another retirement arrangement.

Who this profile is for

  • Existing NSW State Super members assessing their entitlements.

What deserves a closer look

  • NSW Police PSS is different from the Commonwealth PSS.
  • Historical transfers into SASS can carry special rights.
  • These are closed schemes, not general joining options.

Before choosing between AMG Personal Super and Pension and State Super NSW

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.
