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.

Balanced Growth (ANZ Staff MySuper)

There are four options: Aggressive Growth, Balanced Growth, Cautious and Cash. Members can combine them. This is a compact investment menu for people who want a few clear choices.

Members can select managed funds across different asset classes and managers. Use the super investment menu because other WealthFocus investment products have different tax and product structures.

Insurance

Eligible Employee members can receive automatic death and TPD cover and apply for salary continuance. Partner members apply for cover. Cover, premiums and continuation rules vary by section; current rebates should not be assumed permanent.

Optional insurance is available within super. The current insurance disclosure sets eligibility, cover and cost.

Retirement income

The Retirement Section offers retirement income and transition-to-retirement accounts, subject to eligibility and minimum balance requirements.

A pension account allows members to choose the amount and frequency of payments within the account rules.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on ANZ Staff Super

Editorial assessment

The employee benefits make this worth examining before an ANZ employee switches elsewhere. Use the section you will actually hold: a comparison based on Employee pricing can give the wrong answer for a partner or former employee.

Who might put it on their shortlist

  • Eligible employees who want a small investment menu and employer-linked insurance arrangements.
  • Members changing jobs who want to understand the Personal Section before moving their savings.

What deserves a closer look

  • Membership is restricted; the general public cannot join.
  • Check the current section PDS for fee caps, rebates and insurance terms. A historical MySuper figure does not describe all sections.
  • ANZ Staff Super and ANZ Smart Choice Super have different trustees, products and membership rules.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Perpetual WealthFocus

Editorial assessment

A candidate for members who want to select managed investments and have a clear reason for the managers they choose.

What deserves a closer look

  • WealthFocus is a family of products; tax features on investment accounts do not automatically apply to super.
  • Several funds holding similar assets may provide less diversification than their number suggests.

Before choosing between ANZ Staff Super and Perpetual WealthFocus

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.
