8 July 2025

Brighter Super has delivered double-digit returns in eight Accumulation and Pension options for the 12 months to 30 June 2025, including its MySuper default option1. 

"This is a great result for members, given the volatility the markets have experienced through the year. Brighter Super members have also benefitted from their third successive year of administration fee reductions," said Mark Rider, Chief Investment Officer.

Brighter Super’s MySuper return of 10.89% exceeded its average return for the past three years (10.26%), five years (8.22%) and 10 years (7.23%).

Among Accumulation options, Growth (11.65%) Balanced (10.54%) and Indexed Balanced (12.21%) also recorded double-digit returns for the year.

In the Pension phase, Growth (12.82%), Balanced (11.49%), Conservative Balanced (10.09%) and Indexed Balanced (13.63%) also recorded double-digit returns for the year.

Brighter Super Chief Executive Officer Kate Farrar said strong returns in the past financial year reinforced the Fund’s impressive investment record since the mergers of LGIAsuper and Energy Super in 2021 and the acquisition of Suncorp Super in 2022.

"Once again Brighter Super has produced an outstanding investment performance which demonstrates that our members continue to reap the benefits of the mergers through strong returns and among the lowest MySuper fees in the industry,’’ Ms Farrar said. “This means members have more money for retirement."

Mr Rider said strong returns in domestic and global equities had underpinned the double-digit performance for members.

"We’re encouraged by the strength of returns over the past year across all of our diversified investment options and more recently the recovery since the volatility sparked by the US trade tariff announcements. Our long-term strategy, which combines active management with broad diversification, is designed to navigate changing market conditions and protect members’ retirement savings and grow over the long-term." Mr Rider said.
