Super fund comparison tool

Compare the fees and investment performance of super investment options, as at 30 June 2026.

  • Fees are shown at two balance levels, $50,000 and $500,000.
  • Performance is shown over 8 different time periods.

Every option is ranked from 1 to 4 against the other options in its risk category.

  • A 1 means the lowest fees or the highest returns.
  • A 4 means the highest fees or the lowest returns.

Tip: Filter by risk category so you compare options with a similar mix of growth assets.

  • Choose what to show. Use the Fees, Performance and Both buttons to switch between the two sets of rankings.
  • Filter by risk category first. Options are grouped by how much they invest in growth assets, from All growth (96 to 100%) to Conservative (21 to 40%). Higher growth options usually cost more and behave differently in different markets, so it is more useful to compare options within the same category.
  • Check both balance columns. Percentage fees generally fall as balances rise because fixed dollar fees make up a smaller proportion of your balance. An option that is among the cheapest at $50,000 may not be at $500,000.
  • Look across the time periods. A single period tells you little on its own. The longer periods show whether an option has ranked well consistently. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
  • Find your own fund. Type its name into the Super fund search box.
  • Narrow your results. Use the ESG and MySuper filters to show only the types of options you want to compare.
  • Sort and compare. Use the arrows beside any column heading to sort the results.
