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 | Platformplus Super Wrap |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Use the current joining criteria and insurance guide for the membership being considered; workplace arrangements can affect cover. Sources123 | Read the current PDS with your adviser to confirm access and the appropriate accumulation or pension arrangement. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Accumulation, transition-to-retirement and Income accounts. Sources123 | Accumulation and pension portfolios. Sources1234 |
| 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 menu spans managed funds, managed accounts, listed investments, ETFs, cash and term deposits. The approved menu sets limits and availability. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Insurance is available under the current guide. Compare cover definitions, insured amounts and premiums rather than relying on a general service award. Sources123 | The available PDS states that Platformplus does not offer insurance. Existing cover elsewhere cannot be replaced through this account. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Pension accounts and regular contribution arrangements are described in the product's super and pension materials. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Adviser remuneration is separately agreed and authorised. The trustee does not select a personal portfolio for every member. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Add platform charges, underlying investment costs, cash margins, transactions and adviser fees. Use your expected holdings and balance for the estimate. Sources1234 |
| 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 | Assess the actual portfolio and total costs. WRAP Super's fund-level data also covers other divisions and does not identify a Platformplus member's result. Sources1234 |

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
An option for an advised investor who needs portfolio flexibility and consolidated reporting.

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.
