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 | Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension | Media Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | This profile is for existing members and people researching the former offer. It should not be used as a joining option. Sources12 | The brand serves its creative-industry community and eligible members under its current products. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension, undergoing closure. Sources12 | Media Super branded super and retirement products issued within Cbus. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | The product site describes Growth, Balanced and Conservative portfolios based on Islamic investment principles. These descriptions explain the product; they are not an invitation to invest during closure. Sources12 | Use the current Media Super investment menu. Historic Media Super options are not independent portfolios that remain available alongside Cbus after the merger. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Existing members should obtain written confirmation of any cover and its treatment during the closure before moving or cancelling another insurance arrangement. Sources12 | Insurance terms are product-specific. Creative workers with contract, freelance or irregular work should read the income and employment definitions in their own guide. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | The pension product is covered by the same closure and transaction-delay notices. Sources12 | Check the current Media Super retirement product documents and default strategy. Compare retirement returns with retirement returns. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | Contact the trustee and member service for account-specific closure instructions. Advice may help members compare a replacement fund and the implications for insurance. Sources12 | The current site provides advice resources and member assistance. A personal plan needs an explicit scope and fee check. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Use the account's current statement, PDS and closure notices for charges during the transition. Old marketing fee examples do not explain the final transfer amount. Sources12 | Use the post-merger Media Super schedule. Its published merger explanation describes investment fee savings but does not mean every historical fee applies today. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Delayed underlying unit pricing means a displayed balance may not establish the amount ultimately paid or rolled over. Sources12 | Read the pre- and post-merger history note before comparing a long-run Media Super return. Show when an investment strategy changed. Sources1234 |

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
A useful comparison for people in creative industries who value that industry connection and want to check the actual insurance and investment terms.
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.
