This spring is looking a little brighter, with even lower fees at Brighter Super from 1 October 2026.

In this edition, find out what’s changed with fees, hear how one couple moved from a self-managed super fund to Brighter Super, read the latest update from our CEO, and register for a webinar on managing your super in retirement.
