Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.
Retail investment platform
Centric is an adviser-led super platform for members who want a portfolio built around selected investments.
Designed for members working with a financial adviser. Confirm the available service and minimum balance with the adviser.
Retail fund brand
Future Super offers five sustainably screened investment options and a pension product. Its exclusions are a central part of the product, so the screening policy deserves as much attention as the returns table.
Public membership is available under the current PDS and target market determination.
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 | Centric Super | Future Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Designed for members working with a financial adviser. Confirm the available service and minimum balance with the adviser. Sources123 | Public membership is available under the current PDS and target market determination. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Centric Super accumulation and retirement accounts. Sources123 | Future Super accumulation and pension. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | Centric Choice provides a broad investment menu. Centric One centres on multi-asset model portfolios, with consolidated online reporting. Sources123 | Sustainable Moderate, Sustainable Balanced Growth, Sustainable Alternatives Growth, Sustainable Growth and Sustainable High Growth. The fund says every option screens out defined fossil-fuel, weapons and gambling companies. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Insurance arrangements should be checked in the current super disclosure and the proposal supplied by your adviser; investment-platform access alone does not establish your cover. Sources123 | Insurance is available for super accounts; it is not available for pension account holders. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | The platform supports transition-to-retirement and pension accounts. Sources123 | A pension account allows regular income from retirement savings. It has separate fees and investment return information. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | Portfolio selection is part of an advised service. Ask for the ongoing advice scope and fee in writing. Sources123 | Account-related coaching and personal advice are generally included, with exceptions such as some pension advice. The service does not cover comprehensive advice about all outside assets. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Add the platform and account charges, cash-account margin, investment costs, transaction costs and any adviser remuneration. A monthly account fee alone does not describe the whole cost. Sources123 | Use the current option-specific total fee table, including administration and investment costs. Insurance remains separate. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | There is no single Centric return. Compare the actual model or selected holdings after all relevant costs, using a consistent period and risk level. Sources123 | Check inception dates and any option changes. Ethical screening changes the investment universe, so compare risk and portfolio composition as well as fees. Sources1234 |

Worth researching when the stated exclusions match a person's values and the selected option matches their investment needs.

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.
