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.

Spaceship Super

Retail fund brand

Spaceship Super is an app-based super product with several investment options. It is separate from the Spaceship Voyager investment portfolios outside super.

Membership

Public joining is available under the super PDS.

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

Four current options are GrowthX, Global Index, Balanced and Moderate. The notice dated 5 June 2026 changes three options from 7 July 2026; Global Index is unchanged.

Sources123
Insurance

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

Sources12

Insurance costs depend on factors including age, cover, sex at birth and occupation rating.

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 product pages do not establish a dedicated pension account. Confirm the retirement-income pathway.

Advice and support

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

Sources12

The app and support team provide account information. Confirm any personal advice arrangement 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

Use the current super fee table and the notice dated 5 June 2026, effective 7 July 2026. Voyager pricing applies to a different product.

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 selected super option over matching dates. Voyager's performance is not Spaceship Super performance.

Before choosing between GuildSuper and Spaceship 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.
