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.

| Membership and access | BT Super Invest is currently limited to existing Westpac customers aged at least 18 in Australia. Panorama has its own application arrangements. Sources123 | Check the product's application requirements and whether a financial adviser will manage the account. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | Panorama Super and BT Super Invest. Sources123 | Super Accelerator Core and Super Accelerator Plus, with pension account options. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | Shares, ETFs, managed funds, managed portfolios and other permitted investments, depending on the selected product and menu. Sources123 | Core has a narrower menu of funds, models and income investments. Plus has broader managed-fund and listed-investment access. Sources123 |
| Insurance | Check the insurance offering in the precise platform PDS; it should not be inferred from a former BT employer account. Sources123 | Personal Super members can apply for group cover or eligible individual LifeWRAP policies, including death, TPD and income protection. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Super and pension account types are available. Minimum transaction-account balances differ by account phase. Sources123 | Pension functionality is part of Super Accelerator; available investments and cash needs should be reviewed for the drawdown period. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | Panorama supports adviser use; Super Invest is marketed to self-directed investors. Sources123 | The platform supports a nominated financial adviser, with agreed advice fees separate from investment and platform costs. Sources123 |
| Fee details to check | Super Invest lists $540 a year plus a balance-based administration charge, then investment and transaction costs. Its quoted administration fee is not a total annual cost. Sources123 | Include fixed and balance-based administration charges, underlying fund or model costs, trading costs and advice. A quoted Core administration percentage excludes additional fixed or minimum fees. Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | There is no single BT platform return. Compare the selected portfolio after platform, investment, transaction and advice costs. Sources123 | Performance belongs to the selected investments and the member's allocation, not the Netwealth brand. Sources123 |

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.
