Check the current joining and employer criteria. The brand serves its established community as well as members whose circumstances fit the product.
Retail fund brand
Superhero Super offers managed investments, thematic choices and direct shares and ETFs within super.
Public membership under the applicable MySuper or Choice documents.

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 | Superhero Super |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | Public membership under the applicable MySuper or Choice documents. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Superannuation, transition-to-retirement income and retirement income. Sources1234 | Superhero Super Choice and MySuper. 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 | Diversified, single-sector, thematic and direct options. At least 25% of a Choice balance must remain across diversified or single-sector options. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Read the current Catholic Super insurance documents for the relevant employer or personal arrangement. Sources1234 | MySuper and Choice insurance terms differ. There is no insurance in the retirement division; retaining accumulation cover requires a sufficiently funded super 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 | Retirement and transition-to-retirement accounts are available, with a $20,000 minimum under the PDS dated 2 June 2026. 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 | The service supports self-directed investment decisions. Personal advice should be arranged where needed. 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 | Choice administration is $52 a year plus a balance-based fee; investment fees vary and direct investing adds costs. MySuper has its own schedule. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Use the current aligned investment menu and its predecessor notes. Compare individual options with similar asset mixes. Sources1234 | The website's investment returns exclude administration fees and costs. Direct portfolios have member-specific returns. Sources1234 |

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.
