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.
Closed public sector scheme
MilitarySuper combines a member investment account with an employer benefit calculated under Defence scheme rules.
Relevant to existing and preserved MSBS members. Returning ADF personnel may have specific re-entry rights.
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.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
MilitarySuper needs a service-history comparison. A table of investment fees cannot capture the employer benefit or the effect of discharge and pension choices.
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.
