Compare fees and investment returns

Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

Choose an investment option to see the figures

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.

Fee details to check

The $50,000 Plus cost example excludes underlying accessible-product costs, which depend on the investments selected. Include those costs before comparing with a ready-made portfolio.

Sources123

The current fee page separates a $58 annual fixed administration fee, a balance-based administration charge, administration costs, option fees and transaction costs. A low investment fee is not a low total fee by itself.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Raiz Invest Super

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for someone who wants its particular portfolio choices and will use the app to manage their account.

What deserves a closer look

  • The headline Plus fee example is incomplete without the chosen ETF or investment costs.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Virgin Money Super

Editorial assessment

Worth comparing for someone seeking that default structure or who can use the product's specific benefits.

What deserves a closer look

  • The Baby Break discount applies to one fee component and has application conditions.
  • Virgin and Mercer share a legal fund but not necessarily member pricing.

Before choosing between Raiz Invest Super and Virgin Money 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.
