**Before moving your superannuation you should consider: any fees payable (eg. for exit or withdrawal); where future employer contributions will be paid; whether current insurance entitlements will be retained or equivalent cover made available; and any other possible impact, eg. to your investments or tax position.
Competitive fees
In the long run, paying higher fees than you need to can erode your super balance. But it’s also true that with super funds, as with most things, cheapest isn’t necessarily best. Over time the fees you pay have a big impact on your super savings and how much you'll have to play with when it's time to retire.
Here is a summary of some fees and costs for a Suncorp Employee Super Plan.
Note Other fees and costs may apply to your account.
*APRA (the Government’s prudential regulator of super funds and insurers) imposes a levy on the Trustee, a proportion of which will be recouped from your underlying investments on a monthly basis (excludes investments in the Suncorp Traditional Capital Guarantee Fund). For the year ending 30 June 2020 this levy should be no more than approximately 0.20% pa. It may change each year based as it is set by APRA, and as it is an expense of the Fund, any variation will be passed onto you without notice.
What about Super for my family members?
We recognize that our family members are the most important people in our lives and to honour this relationship we have enabled our Brighter Super offering to allow family members of our staff to link their Brighter Super, Super or Pension accounts to your Suncorp Employee Super plan account.
This means that your family member’s administration fee will be calculated in line with the fee structure shown in the below table for Brighter Super Personal and Pension:
The fees will be calculated on your combined balance.
To find out if your family are eligible, please refer to page 4 of the Suncorp Brighter Super Product Guide
* This administration fee discount is calculated on the combined average value of your accounts or linked accounts for the month and is calculated on a tiered basis when the administration fee is charged. Balances invested in the Suncorp Cash Fund and the Suncorp Lifestage Fund are not included for administration fee discount purposes.
Other fees and costs may apply. Please refer to Suncorp Employee Super Plan PDS and Product Guide for more details.
