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 | Australian Food Super | Centric Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Anyone can join, subject to product rules. People can remain members when they leave the meat industry. Sources123 | Designed for members working with a financial adviser. Confirm the available service and minimum balance with the adviser. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | Superannuation and pension products. Sources123 | Centric Super accumulation and retirement accounts. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | The fund has MySuper and Choice investments. Pension members can access the Choice menu but not the MySuper option. Sources123 | Centric Choice provides a broad investment menu. Centric One centres on multi-asset model portfolios, with consolidated online reporting. Sources123 |
| Insurance | Members can opt in to life, TPD and income protection cover. Check eligibility and the current insurer documents, especially for manual work or changing employment. Sources123 | Insurance arrangements should be checked in the current super disclosure and the proposal supplied by your adviser; investment-platform access alone does not establish your cover. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Australian Food Super Pension provides an account-based income product. Compare its fee and investment documents separately from accumulation super. Sources123 | The platform supports transition-to-retirement and pension accounts. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | The fund has engaged Retire360 to provide advice. Confirm which assistance is included and what a more detailed personal plan costs. Sources123 | Portfolio selection is part of an advised service. Ask for the ongoing advice scope and fee in writing. Sources123 |
| Fee details to check | Use the current product disclosure and member guide for the option and account type. Include insurance premiums in a personal comparison. Sources123 | Add the platform and account charges, cash-account margin, investment costs, transaction costs and any adviser remuneration. A monthly account fee alone does not describe the whole cost. Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | Compare the published MySuper or Choice option over identical dates and distinguish pension from accumulation results. Sources123 | There is no single Centric return. Compare the actual model or selected holdings after all relevant costs, using a consistent period and risk level. Sources123 |
THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth comparing for food-industry workers who want to investigate occupation-specific insurance and a conventional super-and-pension offering.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
THE SUPERGURU VIEW
May suit someone who has a clear reason for using an adviser and wants that adviser to manage investments within super.
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.
