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.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Fiducian

Editorial assessment

Relevant for people who want an advised relationship and will use the service rather than simply hold a default option.

What deserves a closer look

  • Consider related-party fund selection and the full cost of advice and investments.
  • A selected menu is narrower than the whole investment market.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on NTGPASS and NTSSS

Editorial assessment

These names usually signal an existing entitlement to investigate, rather than a new fund choice. The employment record and exit reason should drive the assessment.

Who this profile is for

  • Existing or former Territory employees checking legacy benefits.

What deserves a closer look

  • Newer Territory employees generally choose a different accumulation fund.
  • Death and invalidity benefits contain service, age and other conditions.

Before choosing between Fiducian and NTGPASS and NTSSS

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.
