Brighter Super is a Queensland-based superannuation fund that has provided trusted and reliable investment, advice and insurance for almost 60 years.

Brighter Super has over 285,000 members and over $32 billion in funds under management (as at 1 October 2024).

We are 100% member-owned. We do not have any shareholders, which means we are a not-for-profit fund. We work hard to keep our fees and costs as low as possible, and our members come first in everything we do.

We are also an open fund, welcoming members from government and private sectors, and the wider community.

A proud history, a strong future

Brighter Super has been the superannuation fund for Queensland local government employees and their spouses since 1965.

In 2017, Brighter Super became an open fund – which means we open to the wider community and can welcome new members from many different sectors and industries.

On 1 July 2021, Brighter Super merged with Energy Super. The merger was by way of a Successor Fund Transfer (SFT) which involved Energy Super members and their benefits being transferred to Brighter Super. The merger created a single fund, which is managed by LGIAsuper Trustee.

Like Brighter Super, Energy Super was a profit-for-member fund and an open fund with members from government and private sectors. By combining the two funds, we expect to deliver better services and lower costs for all our members.

On 1 April 2022, Brighter Super completed its acquisition of Suncorp Portfolio Services Limited (SPSL). The acquisition brought together like-minded funds to provide more benefits for members and created Australia’s first three-party superannuation merger.
