Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.
Retail investment platform
IconiQ Super Wrap is an advised portfolio account with accumulation, transition-to-retirement and retirement pension arrangements.
An adviser relationship is normally required to join; losing that relationship restricts some account features.

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 | An adviser relationship is normally required to join; losing that relationship restricts some account features. Sources1234 | 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 | Accumulation, Transition to Retirement Pension and Retirement Pension portfolios. Sources1234 | Select Super Plan and Pension Plan; older term allocated pension accounts have separate restrictions. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | The menu includes managed funds, listed investments, managed accounts, cash and term deposits. Its SMA service provides access to managed portfolios. Sources1234 | 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 | No insurance cover is offered within the division. Sources1234 | Optional death, disability and salary-continuance cover is available under the insurance disclosure. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Both transition-to-retirement and retirement pension accounts are available under the super PDS. Sources1234 | Account-based and transition-to-retirement pension arrangements are available; the term allocated pension is closed to new investors. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | The adviser helps set and maintain the portfolio. Their advice fee and responsibilities are separate from the platform service. Sources1234 | 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 | Include administration, underlying investments, transactions, advice and the cash administration fee. The product cost example excludes some costs of accessible investments. Sources1234 | 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 | Judge the chosen holdings and cash allocation. Platform reporting is useful for monitoring a portfolio but is not a fund-wide investment strategy. Sources1234 | 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.
