By SuperGuru Group · Research checked 11 September 2026 · Historical APRA figures to 30 June 2026

BT

Retail platform

BT offers Panorama Super and the self-directed BT Super Invest product. These are investment platforms with costs determined partly by what the member holds.

Membership

BT Super Invest is currently limited to existing Westpac customers aged at least 18 in Australia. Panorama has its own application arrangements.

Perpetual Super Wrap

Retail investment platform

Perpetual Super Wrap provides investment choice and consolidated reporting for super and pension portfolios.

Membership

Confirm access, advice requirements and minimum balance in the current Super Wrap PDS before applying.

Compare fees and investment returns

Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

Choose an investment option to see the figures

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.

Investment choices

Sources123

The wrap offers a broad range of underlying investments. The current menu and each investment's disclosure govern availability, risk and any restrictions.

Sources123
Insurance

Check the insurance offering in the precise platform PDS; it should not be inferred from a former BT employer account.

Sources123

Check Super Wrap's own current terms for any available insurance. Insurance offered through another Perpetual super product should not be assumed to apply.

Sources123
Retirement income

Super and pension account types are available. Minimum transaction-account balances differ by account phase.

Sources123

The service supports accumulation, transition to retirement and retirement income arrangements.

Sources123
Advice and support

Panorama supports adviser use; Super Invest is marketed to self-directed investors.

Sources123

The value of a wrap usually rests on the portfolio and advice services a member actually uses. Request a clear account of those services.

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

Calculate platform charges together with underlying investments, transactions, cash-account effects and any adviser remuneration.

Comparing investment performance

There is no single BT platform return. Compare the selected portfolio after platform, investment, transaction and advice costs.

Sources123

Use the selected portfolio and actual costs. A return from WealthFocus or Select does not describe a Super Wrap member's investments.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on BT

Editorial assessment

Most relevant when a person has a reason to use specific investments and will use the platform's extra control.

What deserves a closer look

  • Fixed charges and required cash holdings can weigh heavily on smaller balances.
  • Do not apply the former BT Super MySuper history or pricing to Panorama or Super Invest.

Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Perpetual Super Wrap

Editorial assessment

May suit someone who needs a broader portfolio service and wants the trustee to handle super compliance.

What deserves a closer look

  • A wrap is an account structure, so investment outcomes depend on what is held in it.
  • Do not confuse Super Wrap with Perpetual's SMSF or small APRA fund administration services.

Before choosing between BT and Perpetual Super Wrap

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.
