Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.
Retail fund brand
Living Super combines diversified investment options with a facility for listed investments, and lets ING customers see super alongside their banking.
Online applications are available to Australian residents aged 13 or over, subject to the product's terms.
Retail fund brand
Spaceship Super is an app-based super product with several investment options. It is separate from the Spaceship Voyager investment portfolios outside super.
Public joining is available under the super PDS.
These brands share at least one legal super fund. They can still have different products, menus, fees or insurance. Check the exact account and investment pathway rather than counting them as unrelated funds.
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 | ING Living Super | Spaceship Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Online applications are available to Australian residents aged 13 or over, subject to the product's terms. Sources123 | Public joining is available under the super PDS. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | Living Super accumulation and retirement accounts. Sources123 | Spaceship Super accumulation. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | Five diversified managed options span conservative to high-growth allocations. Listed investment access includes approved ETFs, shares and listed investment companies. Sources123 | Four current options are GrowthX, Global Index, Balanced and Moderate. The notice dated 5 June 2026 changes three options from 7 July 2026; Global Index is unchanged. Sources123 |
| Insurance | Check the Product Guide for cover availability, commencement and premiums; bank insurance products are separate from super insurance. Sources123 | Insurance costs depend on factors including age, cover, sex at birth and occupation rating. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Pension arrangements are available under the Living Super disclosure. Sources123 | The reviewed product pages do not establish a dedicated pension account. Confirm the retirement-income pathway. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | Members can apply directly or speak with a financial adviser. Online access is an administration feature, not personal investment advice. Sources123 | The app and support team provide account information. Confirm any personal advice arrangement separately. Sources123 |
| Fee details to check | Use the PDS and Product Guide for the chosen managed option or direct-investment arrangement. Brokerage, insurance and transaction costs need separate attention. Sources123 | Use the current super fee table and the notice dated 5 June 2026, effective 7 July 2026. Voyager pricing applies to a different product. Sources123 |
| 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 | Compare the selected super option over matching dates. Voyager's performance is not Spaceship Super performance. 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.
