Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.
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.
Check the current joining and employer criteria. The brand serves its established community as well as members whose circumstances fit the product.
Retail investment platform
Platformplus Super Wrap is an adviser-oriented account for managing a portfolio across super and pension.
Read the current PDS with your adviser to confirm access and the appropriate accumulation or pension arrangement.
Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.
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.
| What to compare | Catholic Super | Platformplus Super Wrap |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Check the current joining and employer criteria. The brand serves its established community as well as members whose circumstances fit the product. Sources1234 | Read the current PDS with your adviser to confirm access and the appropriate accumulation or pension arrangement. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Superannuation, transition-to-retirement income and retirement income. Sources1234 | Accumulation and pension portfolios. Sources1234 |
| 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 menu spans managed funds, managed accounts, listed investments, ETFs, cash and term deposits. The approved menu sets limits and availability. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Read the current Catholic Super insurance documents for the relevant employer or personal arrangement. Sources1234 | The available PDS states that Platformplus does not offer insurance. Existing cover elsewhere cannot be replaced through this account. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Pension accounts and regular contribution arrangements are described in the product's super and pension materials. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Adviser remuneration is separately agreed and authorised. The trustee does not select a personal portfolio for every member. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Add platform charges, underlying investment costs, cash margins, transactions and adviser fees. Use your expected holdings and balance for the estimate. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Use the current aligned investment menu and its predecessor notes. Compare individual options with similar asset mixes. Sources1234 | Assess the actual portfolio and total costs. WRAP Super's fund-level data also covers other divisions and does not identify a Platformplus member's result. Sources1234 |

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

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.
