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 | Fiducian | Prime Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | The product is intended to be used with financial planning support; check the current application requirements. Sources123 | Serves members across several industries. Check the joining criteria and any employer-specific insurance arrangements in the current member guide. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Fiducian Superannuation Service. Sources123 | Superannuation and retirement income products. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | A selected managed-fund menu, Fiducian multi-manager funds, managed share and property-securities portfolios, fixed-interest securities and term deposits. Sources123 | Members can choose a mix of investment options or use the MySuper default. The menu includes diversified choices and sector options such as Australian shares, international shares, property and cash. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Multiple insurance options are available under the relevant documents. Sources123 | The member guide describes insurance choices. Use the cover available under your employer or personal membership arrangement when comparing benefits. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | Account-based and existing term allocated pension portfolios are described in the product offering. Sources123 | Income Stream accounts are available. The investment option corresponding to MySuper is called Balanced for pension accounts, so comparisons must use the correct account phase. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | Fiducian financial planning is central to the service; obtain an agreed advice scope and total fee quote. Sources123 | The fund has superannuation specialists and a book-a-chat service. Confirm whether you are receiving general guidance or personal advice, and the fee for any detailed plan. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Add super administration, underlying fund and portfolio costs, transactions and financial advice. Compare the cost of the actual proposed mix. Sources123 | Use the member guide and each option's current fee disclosure. Investment costs vary with the chosen portfolio, and insurance is a separate comparison. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | The member's chosen mix determines returns. Performance of one Fiducian managed fund is not the performance of every super account. Sources123 | Prime publishes returns by option and period. Its current page refers to periods ending 30 June 2026; any ranking needs the same dates, peer group and fee basis on both sides.

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

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth researching for someone who values a fund with experience in rural work and care industries, particularly when its member support is useful to them.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
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.
