Retail platform
Macquarie Wrap provides Super and Pension Consolidator II and Manager II for advised portfolios.
Macquarie says its Wrap products are designed for people who have received personal advice to apply and to help manage the account.
Retail investment platform
Rhythm Super is an IOOF-operated platform administered by HUB24, with an adviser-selected investment menu.
The service is offered through advisers. Confirm the current product requirements with the adviser and super PDS.
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 | Macquarie Wrap | Rhythm Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Macquarie says its Wrap products are designed for people who have received personal advice to apply and to help manage the account. Sources123 | The service is offered through advisers. Confirm the current product requirements with the adviser and super PDS. Sources12 |
| Accounts and products | Super and Pension Consolidator II and Manager II, plus existing legacy products. Sources123 | Rhythm Super and Pension. Sources12 |
| Investment choices | Managed funds, separately managed accounts, listed investments and other assets permitted by the chosen menu. Sources123 | The menu includes managed funds, shares, ETFs, term deposits and separately managed accounts. Approved advisers can use the IOOF Managed Portfolio Service. Sources12 |
| Insurance | Insurance can be accessed through selected providers under the relevant product documents. Sources123 | Check the current Rhythm Super PDS and any policy proposal for insurance access; HUB24-branded account terms are not automatically Rhythm terms. Sources12 |
| 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 | A pension product is available alongside super. Sources12 |
| Advice and support | A financial adviser is part of the intended product model. Sources123 | Advisers use the platform's transaction, portfolio and reporting tools to manage the member's account. Sources12 |
| 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 | Obtain a complete estimate including account administration, underlying investments, trading, cash and advice. The technology provider's fee schedule is not necessarily the Rhythm schedule. Sources12 |
| Comparing investment performance | The member's portfolio and costs determine the result. An old Macquarie brand return is not a platform performance measure. Sources123 | Use the selected investments and actual account costs. A return from another IOOF or HUB24 product does not represent Rhythm. Sources12 |

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.
