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 fund
Perpetual Select offers a focused menu of diversified and single-sector investments for super and retirement.
Personal super is offered to employees and self-employed people. The published minimum initial investment is $3,000, with separate arrangements for a savings plan.
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.

| Membership and access | The product is offered through an advice relationship; the current PDS and target market determination set the application rules. Sources123 | Personal super is offered to employees and self-employed people. The published minimum initial investment is $3,000, with separate arrangements for a savings plan. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | HUB24 Super with menu and account variants. Sources123 | Select Super Plan and Pension Plan; older term allocated pension accounts have separate restrictions. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | Discover provides a streamlined managed-portfolio selection. Core and Choice offer other levels of investment breadth. Sources123 | The menu covers diversified, Australian-share, international-share and cash choices. The Diversified and High Growth super options closed on 23 April 2026. Sources123 |
| Insurance | A separate HUB24 Super Insurance Guide sets out available cover and conditions. Sources123 | Optional death, disability and salary-continuance cover is available under the insurance disclosure. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | The cash account processes pension payments as well as investment trades and fees. Retirement features depend on the selected account. Sources123 | Account-based and transition-to-retirement pension arrangements are available; the term allocated pension is closed to new investors. 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 | Members can select options themselves or seek advice. A manager's diversified option still needs to match the member's risk tolerance. 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 | Read the June 2026 PDS with the additional fees-and-costs information. Investment charges, spreads, administration, insurance and advice may all apply. Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | A HUB24 account does not have one standard return. Compare a specific proposed portfolio and its complete fees. Sources123 | Check the option's current underlying fund and investment arrangements before treating a long historical return as an unchanged strategy. 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.
