Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

Closing retail fund product

Hejaz announced in August 2026 that its super and pension product is closing. Rollovers and redemptions are delayed while underlying investment unit prices are finalised.

Membership

This profile is for existing members and people researching the former offer. It should not be used as a joining option.

Verve Super

Retail fund brand

Verve Super combines an ethical investment approach with a focus on gender equity. Its menu now contains six options, so older descriptions of a single-option product are out of date.

Membership

Check the current PDS for joining eligibility; the brand's focus should not be substituted for the formal rules.

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.

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.

Each option has its own fees and costs. Include insurance premiums rather than comparing the investment percentage alone.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension

Editorial assessment

An information page for affected members. The immediate task is understanding the closure process and the available alternatives.

What deserves a closer look

  • The reviewed notices do not establish a completed transfer, final closure date or guaranteed payment date.
  • Closure of this super product does not mean every Hejaz investment fund is closing.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Verve Super

Editorial assessment

Relevant for someone who wants the specific ethical and gender-equity approach after checking how it is applied.

What deserves a closer look

  • Gender Equity Australian Shares is a single-country share exposure, not a complete diversified retirement portfolio.
  • Transferring insurance transfers the cover level, not the old premium or policy terms.

Before choosing between Hejaz Islamic Super and Pension and Verve 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.
