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.

Sources12 | Managed funds, separately managed accounts, listed investments and other assets permitted by the chosen menu. Sources123 |

| Retirement income | Account-based and transition-to-retirement pensions are available, with payment limits appropriate to each account. Sources12 | 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 |

Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | Returns depend on the chosen portfolio and cash holding. There is no MySuper option to use as a universal benchmark. Sources12 | The member's portfolio and costs determine the result. An old Macquarie brand return is not a platform performance measure. 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.
