Retail fund
Perpetual Select
Perpetual Select offers a focused menu of diversified and single-sector investments for super and retirement.
THE OVERVIEW
About Perpetual Select
Select's investment arrangements changed in June 2026. Current named options provide access to specified managed funds, and the trustee no longer sets their asset allocations.
Who can join
Personal super is offered to employees and self-employed people. The published minimum initial investment is $3,000, with separate arrangements for a savings plan.

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.
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.
A CLOSER LOOK
Inside Perpetual Select
Accounts and products
Select Super Plan and Pension Plan; older term allocated pension accounts have separate restrictions.
Investment choices
The menu covers diversified, Australian-share, international-share and cash choices. The Diversified and High Growth super options closed on 23 April 2026.
Insurance
Optional death, disability and salary-continuance cover is available under the insurance disclosure.
Retirement income
Account-based and transition-to-retirement pension arrangements are available; the term allocated pension is closed to new investors.
Advice and support
Members can select options themselves or seek advice. A manager's diversified option still needs to match the member's risk tolerance.
Fee details to check
Read the June 2026 PDS with the additional fees-and-costs information. Investment charges, spreads, administration, insurance and advice may all apply.
Comparing investment performance
Check the option's current underlying fund and investment arrangements before treating a long historical return as an unchanged strategy.
Features worth considering
A focused selection of managed investment options.
Super and pension accounts with published option-level reporting.
