Choose an investment option to see the figures

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.

Fee details to check

Comparing investment performance

Option names do not establish equivalent risk. Living Super Growth's current published allocation is 75% growth assets, so compare its actual mix rather than the label alone.

Sources123

Assess the actual portfolio and total costs. WRAP Super's fund-level data also covers other divisions and does not identify a Platformplus member's result.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on ING Living Super

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for someone who wants ING account visibility or listed investments without administering an SMSF.

What deserves a closer look

  • A direct-investment portfolio can be much more concentrated than a managed option.
  • The fund's fee comparisons use a $50,000 example and exclude insurance and buy/sell spreads.

Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Platformplus Super Wrap

Editorial assessment

An option for an advised investor who needs portfolio flexibility and consolidated reporting.

What deserves a closer look

  • Insurance needs a separate arrangement.
  • Shared legal-fund reporting must not be treated as identical pricing across Platformplus and IconiQ.

Before choosing between ING Living Super and Platformplus Super Wrap

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.
