Switch investment options

You can switch investment options as many times as you wish during the financial year.

Brighter Super reserves the right to limit the number of investment switch requests received from a member where the number submitted is considered unreasonable. Remember that super is generally a long-term investment, and by changing investment options often you might reduce your overall investment return.

There is no fee to switch between investment options.

Choose your investments carefully

Have you considered:

  • the likely investment return of your chosen investment option/s?
  • the level of risk you are taking?
  • how long you are investing for?
  • if you are selecting more than one investment option, the overall asset allocation and risk profile the combination of options will produce?

It's important to review your investment strategy regularly, especially if you select more than one investment option. We will not automatically rebalance your investment and the different options you have will grow at different earning rates, with different levels of volatility
