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.

Platformplus Super Wrap

Retail investment platform

Platformplus Super Wrap is an adviser-oriented account for managing a portfolio across super and pension.

Membership

Read the current PDS with your adviser to confirm access and the appropriate accumulation or pension arrangement.

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.

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

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.

Add platform charges, underlying investment costs, cash margins, transactions and adviser fees. Use your expected holdings and balance for the estimate.

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

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 Platformplus Super Wrap

Editorial assessment

An option for an advised investor who needs portfolio flexibility and consolidated reporting.

What deserves a closer look

  • Insurance needs a separate arrangement.
  • Shared legal-fund reporting must not be treated as identical pricing across Platformplus and IconiQ.

Before choosing between BT and Platformplus 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.
