Catholic Super vs Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.

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

Catholic Super

Industry fund brand

Catholic Super remains a separate brand within Equip Super. Its background in Catholic education and healthcare is useful context, but the name alone does not tell you the investment screens or product terms.

Membership

Check the current joining and employer criteria. The brand serves its established community as well as members whose circumstances fit the product.

Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

Closing retail fund product

Hejaz announced in August 2026 that its super and pension product is closing. Rollovers and redemptions are delayed while underlying investment unit prices are finalised.

Membership

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.

Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension, undergoing closure.

Sources12
Investment choices

Diversified and sector-specific choices. The default is MySuper for super accounts, Capital Stable for transition-to-retirement accounts and MyPension for retirement income accounts.

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.

Sources12
Insurance

Read the current Catholic Super insurance documents for the relevant employer or personal arrangement.

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

MyPension invests across Cash, Capital Stable and Growth. This is an investment allocation strategy, with market risk, rather than a promise to pay income for life.

Sources1234

The pension product is covered by the same closure and transaction-delay notices.

Sources12
Advice and support

Financial planning is available through Togethr Financial Planning. Confirm the work covered and the agreed charge before requesting a personal plan.

Sources1234

Contact the trustee and member service for account-specific closure instructions. Advice may help members compare a replacement fund and the implications for insurance.

Fee details to check

Compare the current Catholic Super product disclosure with the same product phase elsewhere. Shared investment infrastructure with Equip does not justify guessing that every member fee and insurance term is identical.

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

Use the current aligned investment menu and its predecessor notes. Compare individual options with similar asset mixes.

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 Catholic Super

Editorial assessment

A useful candidate for people who value its workplace relationships or want the retirement services offered through the brand.

What deserves a closer look

  • Do not confuse Catholic Super with Australian Catholic Super or assume a religious investment exclusion without reading the policy.
  • Comparing it with Equip is largely a comparison of brand and product arrangements within one legal fund.

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 Catholic Super 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.
