THE SUPERGURU VIEW

Our take

Editorial assessment

Relevant for people investigating a cross-border pension transfer, rather than a routine domestic fund comparison.

What deserves a closer look

  • Check current HMRC eligibility and transfer rules at the time of any proposed transfer.
  • A move between countries can affect the transfer's tax treatment and reporting obligations.

THE NUMBERS

Fees and investment returns

Use the product, investment option and employer plan on your statement. Lifecycle members need to choose the relevant stage. APRA's investment pathways may include closed options held by existing members.

No investment pathway has been matched to this profile in the June 2026 APRA package. Read the fee and performance notes below and use the fund's current documents. Absence from this dataset is not a performance-test failure.

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

Members can access investment and cash choices in multiple currencies through the platform.

Insurance

Existing insurance arrangements should be checked with the fund. Older application forms describe cover that should not be assumed to be available on the same terms today.

Retirement income

Personal Pension provides an income stream when the member meets the relevant access rules.

Advice and support

Overseas pension transfers need advice that addresses both countries' rules and the member's residency. IVCM's product support does not decide whether a transfer is right for you.

Fee details to check

The PDS example assumes no QROPS or foreign-currency holdings. Transfer, currency and specialist administration costs can therefore change the actual total.

Comparing investment performance

Compare the selected investments, currencies and net costs. Currency movements can alter both investment results and tax calculations.
