How has this fund performed?
Suncorp Brighter Super has been a strong investment performer across various lifestage segments. With Brighter Super, you have control over how your super is invested and your financial choices will have a bearing on the long-term performance outcomes of your fund.
If you don’t want to choose your investment option and just want to leave it to the experts, we will do all the work for you. Our lifestage investment strategy allocates a diversified investment mix based on age and automatically changes your investment mix over time to suit your changing needs and risk appetite.
This means that when you're younger we put more of your money towards growth investments, like shares and property, then as you get older, we allocate more to income investments, which have lower risk and suit shorter timeframes.
Insurance
Generally, taking out insurance cover within your super is cost-effective because your insurance fees are deducted from your super account balance. This means you don’t have to dip into your take-home pay, as you would if you arranged insurance cover outside super.
By attaching insurance to your Brighter Super account, you can have your insurance fees conveniently and tax-effectively deducted from your account balance.
Insurance options available to you and your family include:
- Up to 75% of your salary plus optional super contributions of up to 10% of your salary, up to a maximum insured amount of $25,000 per month.
- Two year benefit period or until you reach age 65.
- 30, 60 or 90 day waiting period.

Things you should know
* 3 year return calculated as at 30 June 2019. Investment performance is calculated net of taxes and fees such as the investment fee, the investment performance fee, the administration fee and applicable indirect costs. However when calculating investment performance we do not take into account contributions taxes, withdrawal fee and any discretionary ongoing fees such as insurance fees and personal advice fees or other arrangements you may have in place with your advisor. Past performance is not a reliable indicator nor is it a guarantee of future performance. Investment returns can be positive or negative depending on how the market is performing.
1 We receive a tax deduction for expenses related to super investment and administration fees. As a result, the actual super investment and administration fees you pay in Brighter Super will be reduced by up to 15%. The difference in super and pension administration and investment fees is due to the effect of tax deductions we receive for super and pension accounts.
