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.

Advisers use the platform's transaction, portfolio and reporting tools to manage the member's account.

Fee details to check

Compare the combined platform, portfolio, investment, transaction and advice charges at your balance. Cash holdings and the particular menu selections affect the calculation.

Sources123

Obtain a complete estimate including account administration, underlying investments, trading, cash and advice. The technology provider's fee schedule is not necessarily the Rhythm schedule.

Comparing investment performance

Use the record for the actual portfolio. Praemium's platform capabilities do not supply a single investment return for all members.

Sources123

Use the selected investments and actual account costs. A return from another IOOF or HUB24 product does not represent Rhythm.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Praemium Super

Editorial assessment

May suit an advised investor who wants more control over portfolio composition and reporting.

What deserves a closer look

  • A broad menu can add complexity without improving the investment result.
  • Assess whether the ongoing advice and platform cost is proportionate to the balance and work provided.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Rhythm Super

Editorial assessment

May suit an advised member whose investment strategy requires this menu and administration service.

What deserves a closer look

  • There is no universal Rhythm portfolio return.
  • Tax-management tools do not remove investment risk or guarantee a better after-tax result.

Before choosing between Praemium Super and Rhythm 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.
