Delivering streamlined investment options and low fees to members

Since our merger with Suncorp Super (SPSL), we have operated two separate sets of investment options – one for members with Brighter Super accounts, and one for former Suncorp Super members with Optimiser accounts. Combined, this is a total of 32 investment options.

From 31 May 2024, we will be streamlining our investment options and will offer one set of investment options for all members. To create a single set, we have reviewed all options provided by the fund. We have evaluated and compared similar options for Brighter Super and Optimiser accounts for performance, fee structure and management.

Members will also benefit from fee reductions across most of our investment options. We have additionally made changes to administration fees and introduced a consistent cap, so that no member will pay more than $900 in administration fees per financial year.

For more information on all the changes taking effect on 31 May 2024, visit brightersuper.com.au/brighter-together and to watch a short explanatory video featuring Brighter Super CEO, Kate Farrar, and retirement advocate, David ‘Kochie’ Koch.
