Retail platform
Netwealth Super Accelerator is a platform for building and administering a selected investment portfolio. Core and Plus have different investment menus.
Check the product's application requirements and whether a financial adviser will manage the account.
Industry fund
REI Super is built around real estate and property work, including the insurance needs of people paid by commission. Membership is open beyond that industry.
Anyone can join, including people outside real estate, subject to the product rules. Industry membership is not a requirement.
Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

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 | Netwealth | REI Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Check the product's application requirements and whether a financial adviser will manage the account. Sources123 | Anyone can join, including people outside real estate, subject to the product rules. Industry membership is not a requirement. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Super Accelerator Core and Super Accelerator Plus, with pension account options. Sources123 | Superannuation, transition-to-retirement and pension accounts. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | Core has a narrower menu of funds, models and income investments. Plus has broader managed-fund and listed-investment access. Sources123 | Diversified and sector-specific investment options. Members can select their own investment mix. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Personal Super members can apply for group cover or eligible individual LifeWRAP policies, including death, TPD and income protection. Sources123 | Death, TPD and income protection are available, depending on age and employment status. The fund specifically describes insurance for commission-based salaries. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | Pension functionality is part of Super Accelerator; available investments and cash needs should be reviewed for the drawdown period. Sources123 | The default pension strategy combines Balanced and Cash and rebalances the allocation by age. The Cash allocation funds nearer-term income needs, while Balanced retains growth exposure. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | The platform supports a nominated financial adviser, with agreed advice fees separate from investment and platform costs. Sources123 | Members can access financial advice, including help with investment choice and retirement. Check the scope and cost of the service requested. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Include fixed and balance-based administration charges, underlying fund or model costs, trading costs and advice. A quoted Core administration percentage excludes additional fixed or minimum fees. Sources123 | Use the current schedule for super or pension and the chosen investment option. Compare any insurance quote using the same definition of commission income. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Performance belongs to the selected investments and the member's allocation, not the Netwealth brand. Sources123 | Super and pension performance are published separately. Compare current returns across a shared date range and similar exposure to growth assets. Sources1234 |

Best researched when an advised or self-selected portfolio needs the investments and reporting functions the platform provides.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth investigating for real estate salespeople and property professionals whose earnings pattern makes an ordinary salary-based insurance comparison incomplete.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
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.
