Switch investment options

Many members tell us how they want to invest their super – and you may want to as well if you have particular goals for super, such as:

• Growing your super
• Protecting your balance
• Investing more or less in certain assets.

You don't need to choose investment options unless you want to. If you don't choose, we automatically invest your super in our Lifetime option for Accumulation accounts or our Balanced option for Income accounts.

Your investment switch will, in most cases, be reflected on your account within 2 working days after we receive your application. Your balance will stay invested as is until the switch is finalised.

Switches submitted after 3.00pm (Queensland time) on a business day, or any time on a non-business day, are considered to be received the next business day.

For switches affecting your current balance, you will receive the unit price 2 working days after we receive your application for your switch. Until then, our unit prices – and therefore your account balance – reflect current market movements and asset valuations.

Switches for future contributions take effect immediately.

You can cancel your investment switch request before 3.00pm (Queensland time) on the Brisbane business day we receive it, but not after that time. You can do this via your request history in Member Online.

No, you don't need to choose investment options unless you want to.

If you don't choose, we automatically invest your super in our Lifetime option for Accumulation accounts or our Balanced option for Income accounts.

If you do want to switch investments, it's easiest and quickest to do this online. However, if you prefer, you can fill in and send us a QSuper investment switch form.
