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.

Sources1234

The product site describes Growth, Balanced and Conservative portfolios based on Islamic investment principles. These descriptions explain the product; they are not an invitation to invest during closure.

Insurance

Death, TPD and income protection cover are available. BUSSQ says casuals and contractors can access its insurance options when they meet minimum-hours conditions.

Sources1234

Existing members should obtain written confirmation of any cover and its treatment during the closure before moving or cancelling another insurance arrangement.

Sources12
Retirement income

Income accounts and transition-to-retirement arrangements have separate investment and fee information. Existing term allocated pensions should be compared under their own rules.

Advice and support

Personal advice about BUSSQ insurance, investment choice, contributions and retirement is included in administration fees. The scope is limited to BUSSQ products.

Fee details to check

The current page lists a balance-based administration fee, capped annually, plus investment and transaction costs that depend on the option. Include any insurance charge separately.

Sources1234

Use the account's current statement, PDS and closure notices for charges during the transition. Old marketing fee examples do not explain the final transfer amount.

Sources12
Comparing investment performance

BUSSQ's published long-run headline uses Balanced Growth and includes specified administration deductions. Match those deductions before comparing it with another fund's investment-only return.

Sources1234

Delayed underlying unit pricing means a displayed balance may not establish the amount ultimately paid or rolled over.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on BUSSQ

Editorial assessment

A relevant fund to examine for construction workers who need to check whether another insurer excludes or limits their occupation.

What deserves a closer look

  • Minimum hours and policy definitions still apply; industry branding does not guarantee a claim.
  • A return since 1985 is not comparable with a competing fund's five-year number.

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 Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

Editorial assessment

An information page for affected members. The immediate task is understanding the closure process and the available alternatives.

What deserves a closer look

  • The reviewed notices do not establish a completed transfer, final closure date or guaranteed payment date.
  • Closure of this super product does not mean every Hejaz investment fund is closing.

Before choosing between BUSSQ and Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

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.
