Industry fund
legalsuper
legalsuper is aimed at the legal profession and gives members both managed investment options and a direct investment facility.
THE OVERVIEW
About legalsuper
The fund's legal-industry focus is paired with a product range for super and retirement. Its direct option provides a different level of control from the pooled investment menu.
Who can join
Check current employer-sponsored and personal membership terms. The account category matters when comparing fees and insurance.
THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Our take
Worth examining for legal professionals or eligible members who want more investment control and will use the direct menu.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.

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.
A CLOSER LOOK
Inside legalsuper
Accounts and products
Superannuation, pension and transition-to-retirement pension.
Investment choices
Members can choose managed options. Eligible accounts can also use the Direct Investment Option for ASX300 shares, selected ETFs, listed investment companies and term deposits.
Insurance
The fund has insurance options for its membership. Compare the actual policy and occupation category, rather than treating a legal-industry label or award as proof of value.
Retirement income
Pension members have a managed menu and can access direct investment subject to its rules. Transition-to-retirement pension members cannot use the Direct Investment Option.
Advice and support
The fund provides member information and support. Personal financial advice should have a clear scope and agreed fee; only eligible super-related advice fees may be paid from the account.
Fee details to check
Direct investing adds its own administration and other costs to the ordinary product schedule. Include these when comparing it with a pooled option or another direct-share facility.
Comparing investment performance
A member who holds direct securities has a personal portfolio return. It is not meaningful to assign the MySuper return to that portfolio.
Features worth considering
Access to direct securities within a regulated super product.
A legal-industry membership focus with pension options.
