- Create your own investment mix. If you want to be more involved with your super you can create your own investment mix from a range of individual asset classes.
What investment options are available?
Suncorp Everyday Super offers two investment categories depending on how hands-on you want to be with your super. The Suncorp Lifestage category is a low-cost, simple strategy which leaves the complicated investment and management choices to Suncorp. If you want greater control of your super and to choose your own portfolio, Suncorp enables you to do that too.
These investment levels are detailed below

What insurance cover is offered with Suncorp Everyday Super?
Suncorp Everyday Super offers you tailored insurance cover based on your lifestage via Suncorp Life. The amount of cover you receive is determined by your age, and will automatically adjust over time. Suncorp will also provide you with more cover when you’re likely to have higher debt such as a mortgage and children.
Once you sign up you will automatically receive*:
- Death cover (including terminal illness cover), which pays a lump sum to your elected beneficiaries if you die or suffer a terminal illness
- Total and permanent disablement cover (TPD), which pays a lump sum if illness or injury means you are unlikely to ever be able to work again
Insurance premiums will be deducted from your super account, and you can increase (up to $850,000) or decrease your insurance through your online account. Note that insurance is applied on an opt-out basis, meaning that you will automatically be placed into cover and have premiums deducted from your account balance. You can cancel your insurance cover at any time online.
*Note: There may be exclusions and/or restrictions which apply to your insurance cover. Check the Insurance Guide available via the Suncorp Everyday Super website.
