Active share is how far a fund's ASX holdings differ from the ASX 300 by weight (0% would be an index fund, 100% no overlap). Growth assets are everything except cash and fixed income; headline options range from balanced to high growth, so compare like with like. "Age group" marks lifecycle MySuper products, where each birth cohort is a separate option and the largest is shown. * Internally managed covers only fixed income and unlisted assets, the classes where funds must say who manages them (CFS also tags listed shares).

Returns are APRA's fund-level rates of return, after costs and tax, averaged across all of a fund's members and options, so a fund with many members in cash or conservative options shows lower returns than its growth option. Costs are investment plus operating expenses as a share of assets, which APRA gives to a tenth of a percent. * Aware Super includes Telstra Superannuation Scheme, which has since merged in.
