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 | NGS Super | Perpetual Super Wrap |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Use the current joining criteria and insurance guide for the membership being considered; workplace arrangements can affect cover. Sources123 | Confirm access, advice requirements and minimum balance in the current Super Wrap PDS before applying. Sources123 |
| Accounts and products | Accumulation, transition-to-retirement and Income accounts. Sources123 | Perpetual Super Wrap superannuation and pension. Sources123 |
| Investment choices | Diversified is the MySuper option. Other choices include High Growth, Balanced, Defensive, Indexed Growth and sector options such as Australian shares, international shares, infrastructure, property, bonds, cash and term deposits. Sources123 | The wrap offers a broad range of underlying investments. The current menu and each investment's disclosure govern availability, risk and any restrictions. Sources123 |
| Insurance | Insurance is available under the current guide. Compare cover definitions, insured amounts and premiums rather than relying on a general service award. Sources123 | Check Super Wrap's own current terms for any available insurance. Insurance offered through another Perpetual super product should not be assumed to apply. Sources123 |
| Retirement income | Income and transition-to-retirement accounts have separate disclosure documents. NGS explains that investment earnings are treated differently in these account types. Sources123 | The service supports accumulation, transition to retirement and retirement income arrangements. Sources123 |
| Advice and support | Single-issue advice limited to an NGS account and its insurance is available without a separate charge. Broader tailored advice is offered on an agreed fee-for-service basis. Sources123 | The value of a wrap usually rests on the portfolio and advice services a member actually uses. Request a clear account of those services. Sources123 |
| Fee details to check | The current page separates fixed administration, a balance-based component, reserve-paid administration costs and option-specific investment costs. Indexed Growth has a different investment cost from Diversified, so quote the actual chosen option. Sources123 | Calculate platform charges together with underlying investments, transactions, cash-account effects and any adviser remuneration. Sources123 |
| Comparing investment performance | Compare the same option, dates and account phase. The Indexed Growth and Diversified strategies should be assessed against their own asset mix and objectives. Sources123 | Use the selected portfolio and actual costs. A return from WealthFocus or Select does not describe a Super Wrap member's investments. Sources123 |

Worth comparing if you want a conventional industry fund but also want an indexed portfolio or help with a specific super question.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
May suit someone who needs a broader portfolio service and wants the trustee to handle super compliance.
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.
