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

Diversified, single-sector, thematic and direct options. At least 25% of a Choice balance must remain across diversified or single-sector options.

Sources1234
Insurance

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

Sources12

MySuper and Choice insurance terms differ. There is no insurance in the retirement division; retaining accumulation cover requires a sufficiently funded super account.

Sources1234
Retirement income

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

Sources12

Retirement and transition-to-retirement accounts are available, with a $20,000 minimum under the PDS dated 2 June 2026.

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 service supports self-directed investment decisions. Personal advice should be arranged where needed.

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

Choice administration is $52 a year plus a balance-based fee; investment fees vary and direct investing adds costs. MySuper has its own schedule.

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

The website's investment returns exclude administration fees and costs. Direct portfolios have member-specific returns.

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.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Superhero Super

Editorial assessment

Relevant for an investor who wants more control but accepts the portfolio limits and costs.

What deserves a closer look

  • The required 25% managed or single-sector allocation limits a wholly direct portfolio.
  • A newly registered legal fund is not evidence that the current consumer product has already transferred.

Before choosing between GuildSuper and Superhero 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.
