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.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Netwealth

Editorial assessment

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

What deserves a closer look

  • Do not assume a zero platform investment-fee line means the underlying investments are free.
  • An SMSF service is a different product and responsibility structure.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Spaceship Super

Editorial assessment

Relevant for people who want a digital service and are comfortable assessing its investment strategy and costs.

What deserves a closer look

  • Product names within the same app can refer to entirely different investments.
  • Older fee screenshots may predate the changes effective 7 July 2026.

Before choosing between Netwealth and Spaceship 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.
