Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.

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

GuildSuper

Retail fund brand

GuildSuper is retaining its brand while transferring into Smart Future Trust. The transition is still underway on the research date, so current notices matter more than an old fee table.

Membership

Use the current GuildSuper joining documents and the transfer notice. The brand remains available, although some member transactions are temporarily limited during the transition.

Raiz Invest Super

Retail fund brand

Raiz Invest Super gives members ready-made portfolios and a Plus option that allows more investment customisation through the Raiz app.

Membership

Available under the current Raiz Invest Super PDS and member guide.

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.

Investment choices

The transfer introduces a refreshed investment menu and maps existing balances to comparable new options. Check the mapping for the precise option instead of assuming its old name and asset mix persist.

Sources12

Nine portfolios include different diversified risk levels, Emerald, Property 10, Property 30 and Plus. Limits apply to shares and selected ETFs in Plus.

Sources123
Insurance

The transfer notice says insurance cover and policy terms remain the same, but the insurance administration fee increases.

Sources12

Insurance is available when cover is held. The product documents include insurance-policy changes issued in June 2026.

Sources123
Retirement income

Pension members remain in GuildSuper. The notice adjusts some September payment dates and temporarily limits member-initiated withdrawals and switches.

Sources12

The reviewed pages do not establish a dedicated pension account; verify an income-stream pathway before retirement.

Advice and support

Use the current contact and advice information in the product disclosure. Confirm the service and price before commissioning personal advice.

Sources12

Product support is available through Raiz. Personal advice should be scoped separately.

Fee details to check

New fund details apply to contributions from 5 September 2026. Compare the fee schedule applying after the transfer, including the higher insurance administration fee. The notice says most members are expected to pay lower overall fees, not all members.

Sources12

The $50,000 Plus cost example excludes underlying accessible-product costs, which depend on the investments selected. Include those costs before comparing with a ready-made portfolio.

Comparing investment performance

Any future comparison spanning the transfer needs the option mapping and strategy-history note. Do not splice two different strategies without explanation.

Sources12

Compare the precise super portfolio, not the returns of a regular Raiz account with different cash flows or fees.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on GuildSuper

Editorial assessment

Most immediately useful for existing GuildSuper members checking where their account is going and how their particular fees change.

What deserves a closer look

  • The scheduled account transfer is 12 September 2026, with services expected to resume on 14 September; it is not complete on 11 September.
  • Some member transactions are unavailable from 4 to 14 September. The new contribution identifiers started earlier than the account transfer.

Our take on Raiz Invest Super

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for someone who wants its particular portfolio choices and will use the app to manage their account.

What deserves a closer look

  • Property portfolios change concentration and liquidity exposure.
  • The headline Plus fee example is incomplete without the chosen ETF or investment costs.

Before choosing between GuildSuper and Raiz Invest Super

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.
