Industry fund
REI Super
REI Super is built around real estate and property work, including the insurance needs of people paid by commission. Membership is open beyond that industry.
THE OVERVIEW
About REI Super
REI is an industry fund that returns profits to members. It opened membership to everyone in July 2016 and continues to specialise in real estate careers.
Who can join
Anyone can join, including people outside real estate, subject to the product rules. Industry membership is not a requirement.
THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Our take
Worth investigating for real estate salespeople and property professionals whose earnings pattern makes an ordinary salary-based insurance comparison incomplete.
Based on the cited product features. These are general reasons to investigate the fund, not a personal recommendation. Supporting sources.
THE NUMBERS

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 REI Super
Accounts and products
Superannuation, transition-to-retirement and pension accounts.
Investment choices
Diversified and sector-specific investment options. Members can select their own investment mix.
Insurance
Death, TPD and income protection are available, depending on age and employment status. The fund specifically describes insurance for commission-based salaries.
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.
Advice and support
Members can access financial advice, including help with investment choice and retirement. Check the scope and cost of the service requested.
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.
Comparing investment performance
Super and pension performance are published separately. Compare current returns across a shared date range and similar exposure to growth assets.
Features worth considering
A specific focus on commission-based earnings and real estate work.
A pension default that separates cash for income from growth investments.
