By SuperGuru Group · Research checked 11 September 2026 · Historical APRA figures to 30 June 2026

Macquarie Wrap

Retail platform

Macquarie Wrap provides Super and Pension Consolidator II and Manager II for advised portfolios.

Membership

Macquarie says its Wrap products are designed for people who have received personal advice to apply and to help manage the account.

Mason Stevens Super

Retail investment platform

Mason Stevens Super provides an account for an adviser-selected investment portfolio, with super and pension administration in one service.

Membership

Access and portfolio arrangements are handled through an adviser. Review the super PDS rather than relying on the wider firm's investment-service material.

Compare fees and investment returns

Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

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.

Accounts and products

Super and Pension Consolidator II and Manager II, plus existing legacy products.

Sources123

Mason Stevens Super and pension.

Sources123
Investment choices

Managed funds, separately managed accounts, listed investments and other assets permitted by the chosen menu.

Sources123

The platform gives access to managed investments and portfolio services. The PDS includes a Foundation ETF Balanced example, but that example is not every member's portfolio.

Sources123
Insurance

Insurance can be accessed through selected providers under the relevant product documents.

Sources123

Ask the adviser to identify the available insurer, eligibility and terms in the current super disclosure before arranging or replacing cover.

Sources123
Retirement income

Super and pension accounts are available. The current II products do not accept conversion of an existing term allocated pension into that product type.

Sources123

Super and pension accounts have different cash requirements and payment needs.

Sources123
Advice and support

A financial adviser is part of the intended product model.

Sources123

An adviser helps select and manage the portfolio. Adviser remuneration is additional to the platform's standard cost example.

Sources123
Fee details to check

Use the fees effective from 1 September 2026. Add investments, trading, advice and any cash-account economics; Macquarie published administration and ORFR changes for that date.

Sources123

Include account fees, administration, the cash margin, investment costs and adviser charges. The PDS's worked example uses $48,000 in a model and $2,000 in cash, which affects the result.

Sources123
Comparing investment performance

The member's portfolio and costs determine the result. An old Macquarie brand return is not a platform performance measure.

Sources123

Assess the selected investments and actual cash allocation. A model's published return does not necessarily include all account and advice costs.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Macquarie Wrap

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for an advised investor who needs the menu and account-management functions.

What deserves a closer look

  • The intended advice relationship creates a cost and service dependency.
  • Current fees changed in September 2026, so older comparison tables can be wrong.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Mason Stevens Super

Editorial assessment

A candidate for an advised member who needs portfolio services and can explain what they add to a simpler diversified option.

What deserves a closer look

  • Super normally needs the greater of $2,000 or 2% in cash, capped at $15,000; pension requirements are higher.
  • Trading, cash and advice costs can materially change the total.

Before choosing between Macquarie Wrap and Mason Stevens Super

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.
