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 | Perpetual Super Wrap | Professional Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Confirm access, advice requirements and minimum balance in the current Super Wrap PDS before applying. Sources123 | Current eligibility is set by the PDS and target market determination. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Perpetual Super Wrap superannuation and pension. Sources123 | Professional Super accumulation. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | The wrap offers a broad range of underlying investments. The current menu and each investment's disclosure govern availability, risk and any restrictions. Sources123 | Balanced, Growth and High Growth. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | 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 | Insurance terms are in the product guides. Check whether the chosen cover is suitable for hours worked, occupation and income. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | The service supports accumulation, transition to retirement and retirement income arrangements. Sources123 | The reviewed sources do not establish a dedicated pension product. It is mainly an accumulation comparison. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | 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 | Member services provide support; a personal recommendation requires the appropriate advice service. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Calculate platform charges together with underlying investments, transactions, cash-account effects and any adviser remuneration. Sources123 | The fee rebate depends on receiving a contribution into the account at least every 12 months. Compare both the discounted cost and the cost if eligibility ends. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Use the selected portfolio and actual costs. A return from WealthFocus or Select does not describe a Super Wrap member's investments. Sources123 | Compare the selected risk option rather than assuming a product designed for younger people always means the highest-growth portfolio. Sources1234 |

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

THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Worth reviewing for a student or early-career worker if the rebate and product terms fit their actual contribution pattern.

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.
