Team Super

Industry fund

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.

The fund serves workers in its core industries and other eligible members. Former Mine and TWUSUPER members should check their current division and insurance documents.

Sources12345
Accounts and products

Superannuation, transition-to-retirement and pension accounts.

Sources1234

Superannuation, pre-retirement pension and account-based pension.

Sources12345
Investment choices

Diversified and sector-specific investment options. Members can select their own investment mix.

Sources1234

Pre-mixed and single-asset options let members build their own mix. Pension and super defaults follow the rules for their particular account, rather than a single default being suitable for every member.

Sources12345
Insurance

Death, TPD and income protection are available, depending on age and employment status. The fund specifically describes insurance for commission-based salaries.

Sources1234

Insurance divisions reflect the industries the fund serves. The merger included premium and definition changes, so a pre-merger quote is not enough to compare current cover.

Sources12345
Retirement income

The default pension strategy combines Balanced and Cash and rebalances the allocation by age. The Cash allocation funds nearer-term income needs, while Balanced retains growth exposure.

Sources1234

Both pre-retirement and account-based pensions are available, with their own investment and fee disclosures.

Sources12345
Advice and support

Members can access financial advice, including help with investment choice and retirement. Check the scope and cost of the service requested.

Sources1234

Team offers a complimentary initial appointment. Advice on how the account is invested is available at no extra cost; other personal advice has separate fees.

Sources12345
Fee details to check

Use the current schedule for super or pension and the chosen investment option. Compare any insurance quote using the same definition of commission income.

Sources1234

The merger page advertises a fixed super administration charge of 75 cents a week. Add any percentage administration charge, investment costs, transaction costs and insurance from the current super PDS. Pension fees use a different schedule.

Sources12345
Comparing investment performance

Super and pension performance are published separately. Compare current returns across a shared date range and similar exposure to growth assets.

Sources1234

Read the option history carefully around the merger and any strategy changes. A long record can include a predecessor portfolio and is not automatically the record of every former TWUSUPER option.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on REI Super

Editorial assessment

Worth investigating for real estate salespeople and property professionals whose earnings pattern makes an ordinary salary-based insurance comparison incomplete.

What deserves a closer look

  • Confirm exactly how the policy defines income and commissions.
  • Age-based pension rebalancing may not match an individual retiree's spending needs or other assets.

THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take on Team Super

Editorial assessment

A relevant comparison for workers whose occupation makes insurance definitions, exclusions and claims support especially important.

What deserves a closer look

  • Compare the insurance division that would cover your actual job.
  • The fixed weekly fee is only one part of total cost; it should not be used as a total-fee headline.

Before choosing between REI Super and Team 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.
