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

Equip Super

Industry fund

Equip Super combines a conventional super investment menu with retirement income products and a MyPension investment strategy.

Membership

Public joining is available, with separate terms for certain employer and defined benefit arrangements. A workplace plan may differ from the standard accumulation offer.

IconiQ Super Wrap

Retail investment platform

IconiQ Super Wrap is an advised portfolio account with accumulation, transition-to-retirement and retirement pension arrangements.

Membership

An adviser relationship is normally required to join; losing that relationship restricts some account features.

Compare fees and investment returns

Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

Choose an investment option to see the figures

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.

Insurance

Use the insurance guide for the relevant membership or employer category. Standard and workplace arrangements should not be treated as interchangeable.

Sources12345

No insurance cover is offered within the division.

Sources1234
Retirement income

MyPension is a strategy for managing retirement savings across investment options. It is not a guaranteed lifetime pension.

Sources12345

Both transition-to-retirement and retirement pension accounts are available under the super PDS.

Sources1234
Advice and support

Members can receive advice about their super at no extra cost. Ask about the scope and separate fees before proceeding with broader financial planning.

Sources12345

The adviser helps set and maintain the portfolio. Their advice fee and responsibilities are separate from the platform service.

Fee details to check

Use the schedule effective for the current year and chosen product. Equip published investment fee and cost changes effective 1 July 2026.

Sources12345

Include administration, underlying investments, transactions, advice and the cash administration fee. The product cost example excludes some costs of accessible investments.

Comparing investment performance

Use current option names and the same account phase. The June 2026 option closure and earlier integration mean old menus and performance screenshots may mislead.

Sources12345

Judge the chosen holdings and cash allocation. Platform reporting is useful for monitoring a portfolio but is not a fund-wide investment strategy.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Equip Super

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for someone who wants support moving from super to pension, or who already belongs to an Equip employer plan.

What deserves a closer look

  • Catholic Super and Equip are brands within the same legal fund, not fully independent fund providers.
  • An existing defined benefit member needs scheme-specific information before any transfer.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on IconiQ Super Wrap

Editorial assessment

May suit an advised household that can use the portfolio and aggregation features.

What deserves a closer look

  • Insurance must be arranged separately.
  • Read the supplementary PDS for revised cash-management rules; automatic sales can occur when cash falls below requirements.

Before choosing between Equip Super and IconiQ Super Wrap

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.
