Compare what each fund offers, then choose investment options to put their published costs and returns side by side.

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

National Mutual Retirement Fund

Closed retail fund

National Mutual Retirement Fund holds a range of older superannuation and insurance policies administered by Resolution Life.

Membership

The trustee's March 2026 assessment describes the fund as closed to new members. Existing-member contributions and successor transfers are different from opening a new retail account; the rules depend on the policy.

Platformplus Super Wrap

Retail investment platform

Platformplus Super Wrap is an adviser-oriented account for managing a portfolio across super and pension.

Membership

Read the current PDS with your adviser to confirm access and the appropriate accumulation or pension arrangement.

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.

Investment choices

Menus vary by policy. Some are unit-linked investment accounts; others combine insurance, guarantees or bonuses. The product and investment option on the member statement are essential identifiers.

Sources1234

The menu spans managed funds, managed accounts, listed investments, ETFs, cash and term deposits. The approved menu sets limits and availability.

Sources1234
Insurance

Insurance and whole-of-life features belong to specific policies. The label National Mutual Retirement Fund does not establish a member's cover, premium or surrender value.

Sources1234

The available PDS states that Platformplus does not offer insurance. Existing cover elsewhere cannot be replaced through this account.

Retirement income

Pension and super policies have their own withdrawal, payment and maturity rules. Annual and terminal bonuses should be distinguished; terminal bonuses may depend on the eventual claim or withdrawal.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on National Mutual Retirement Fund

Editorial assessment

The legal fund name is a starting point, not enough detail for a switch decision. With older policies, the useful questions are what you own, which benefits would survive a transfer and what would be paid if you left today.

Who this profile is for

  • Existing Resolution Life policyholders identifying their super fund.
  • Former Super Retirement Fund members checking the account and contribution details that changed in July 2026.

What deserves a closer look

  • Do not treat every legacy policy as a standard accumulation account.
  • June 2026 figures for Super Retirement Fund predate its transfer. They should not be presented as new July pricing for the receiving section.
  • An APRA public-offer classification does not override the trustee's notice that the fund is closed to new members.

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 National Mutual Retirement Fund 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.
