How are Brighter Super pension funds performing?
Suncorp Brighter Super has been a strong investment performer across each lifestage segment. 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.
With Brighter Super, you’ve got two broad choices.
You can:
- Choose your own investment mix
If you’d rather build your own Brighter Super investment portfolio (perhaps with your financial adviser’s help), then you can choose from our broad range of diversified and single-sector options. They bring together the skills of our investment partner Morningstar and expertise from a variety of other high quality Australian and overseas investment managers.
As well as the Suncorp Lifestage Fund (where the investment mix is automatically tailored to your age range and risk profile), you can choose from a number of diversified conservative investment options as well as the Suncorp Cash Fund.
- Keep things simple and let us do the work
If you’d rather we did the work for you, we will firstly allocate you a diversified investment mix based on you age, so you’re not putting all your eggs in one basket. Then we automatically change your investment mix over time to suit your changing needs and risk appetite. When you're younger we'll put more of your money in growth investments like shares and property, and as you get older we'll put more of your money in income investments better suited to more risk-averse investors with shorter time horizons.
