Investment options

Our MySuper option is the default investment option for members with a Brighter Super Accumulation account or Optimiser Accumulation account who have not made an investment choice. This option is not available to pension or defined benefit members.

Set the right strategy

Everyone’s situation and needs are different, so having a range of choices available is always a good thing. That’s exactly what you’ll get with our investment options – a variety of approaches, all designed to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

Some options are more conservative and less prone to ups and downs, while others are more predictable but may not deliver high returns. Whatever it is you’d like your super to do, it’s important you have a clear goal and develop an investment strategy to help you reach it. And you can always switch investments anytime at no cost.

Your default options

If you have a Brighter Super Accumulation account or Optimiser Accumulation account and have never made an investment choice yourself, your super will be invested in our MySuper option.

If you’re a pension member and don’t make a choice, your money is invested in the:
