Key features of Suncorp Everyday Super
Default MySuper option. The Suncorp Lifestage Fund is a simple, low-fee MySuper product and is the default option for members. This option changes your mix of investments as you grow older, so you're taking on less risk as you get closer to retirement.
Single sector options. If you want more control over your super you create your own investment mix using the single sector options, instead of going with the Lifestage Fund.
Consolidate your super. You can ask Suncorp to search the ATO for any other super you may have, and then roll these over into your Suncorp account.
Easy access to your account. Access your account 24/7 online or via the mobile app to monitor your balance, make additional contributions or change your investments.
Flexible insurance coverage. Your insurance cover is determined by your age, and will automatically adjust over time. You'll receive more cover when you're likely to have higher debt such as a mortgage and children.
Suncorp Brighter Super. Suncorp also offers another super product called Suncorp Brighter Super. With this product, you can choose from a range of different pre-mixed investment options. Learn more about Suncorp Brighter Super here.
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.
Option 1: Suncorp Lifestage Fund
The Suncorp Lifestage Fund option is designed to reflect your needs as you move through the workforce. First, you'll be allocated a diversified investment portfolio based on your age, which then automatically adjusts your investment mix as you get older to suit your changing needs and desire for risk.
For example, if you were born in 1991 you'll be invested in the Suncorp Lifestage Fund 1990-1994, a portfolio which contains more growth (and riskier) assets like shares and property. As you get older, Suncorp will automatically shift your money to more defensive assets like cash and bonds as your needs change and you become more risk-averse. This way you'll never have to make any investment decisions about your super. Suncorp will do the work for you.

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.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance.
