Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.
Retail platform
HUB24 Super is an adviser platform with Discover, Core and Choice menus. The reason to consider it is the portfolio and administration functionality that a particular member needs.
The product is offered through an advice relationship; the current PDS and target market determination set the application rules.
Retail investment platform
Mason Stevens Super provides an account for an adviser-selected investment portfolio, with super and pension administration in one service.
Access and portfolio arrangements are handled through an adviser. Review the super PDS rather than relying on the wider firm's investment-service material.
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.
| What to compare | HUB24 | Mason Stevens Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | The product is offered through an advice relationship; the current PDS and target market determination set the application rules. Sources123 | Access and portfolio arrangements are handled through an adviser. Review the super PDS rather than relying on the wider firm's investment-service material. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | HUB24 Super with menu and account variants. Sources123 | Mason Stevens Super and pension. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | Discover provides a streamlined managed-portfolio selection. Core and Choice offer other levels of investment breadth. Sources123 | The platform gives access to managed investments and portfolio services. The PDS includes a Foundation ETF Balanced example, but that example is not every member's portfolio. Sources123 |
| Insurance | A separate HUB24 Super Insurance Guide sets out available cover and conditions. Sources123 | Ask the adviser to identify the available insurer, eligibility and terms in the current super disclosure before arranging or replacing cover. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | The cash account processes pension payments as well as investment trades and fees. Retirement features depend on the selected account. Sources123 | Super and pension accounts have different cash requirements and payment needs. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | Advisers use the platform to construct and manage client portfolios. Advice fees need to be included in any total-cost assessment. Sources123 | An adviser helps select and manage the portfolio. Adviser remuneration is additional to the platform's standard cost example. Sources123 |
| Fee details to check | Calculate costs using the selected menu, balance and investments. Add adviser and managed-portfolio fees, plus transaction and underlying investment costs. Sources123 | Include account fees, administration, the cash margin, investment costs and adviser charges. The PDS's worked example uses $48,000 in a model and $2,000 in cash, which affects the result. Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | A HUB24 account does not have one standard return. Compare a specific proposed portfolio and its complete fees. Sources123 | Assess the selected investments and actual cash allocation. A model's published return does not necessarily include all account and advice costs. Sources123 |

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.
