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.

Investment choices

The menu includes managed portfolios and direct investment choices. Availability, allocation limits and the operating cash balance are governed by the current investment guide.

Sources123

Diversified, single-sector, thematic and direct options. At least 25% of a Choice balance must remain across diversified or single-sector options.

Sources1234
Insurance

Insurance access is subject to the current PDS, application requirements and the chosen policy. Have the adviser explain the insurer and any underwriting before cancelling existing cover.

Sources123

MySuper and Choice insurance terms differ. There is no insurance in the retirement division; retaining accumulation cover requires a sufficiently funded super account.

Sources1234
Retirement income

Members can use transition-to-retirement or pension accounts when eligible, with investment and withdrawal arrangements set for that account.

Sources123

Retirement and transition-to-retirement accounts are available, with a $20,000 minimum under the PDS dated 2 June 2026.

Sources1234
Advice and support

This is an advised platform. Ongoing portfolio advice is a separate service that should have a clear scope and price.

Sources123

The service supports self-directed investment decisions. Personal advice should be arranged where needed.

Sources1234
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

Choice administration is $52 a year plus a balance-based fee; investment fees vary and direct investing adds costs. MySuper has its own schedule.

Sources1234
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

The website's investment returns exclude administration fees and costs. Direct portfolios have member-specific returns.

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.

Sources123

Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Superhero Super

Editorial assessment

Relevant for an investor who wants more control but accepts the portfolio limits and costs.

What deserves a closer look

  • The required 25% managed or single-sector allocation limits a wholly direct portfolio.
  • A newly registered legal fund is not evidence that the current consumer product has already transferred.

Before choosing between Praemium Super and Superhero 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.
