Why are we making this change?
We review our investment pathways each year.
We believe this change will help the pathway to keep meeting its aim, whilst continuing to offer value for money.
What do you need to know?
The changes to this investment pathway will take place on 25 November 2026.
To make this change, we need to buy and sell funds. If fund prices are moving up and down a lot when the change is due to happen, we may delay it for up to 30 days. If we need to delay it for longer than 30 days, we'll write to let you know
The investment pathway's aim remains the same
Old aim | New aim |
|---|---|
The fund aims to provide an appropriate investment solution for those who plan to set up a guaranteed income (annuity) within the next five years. It will invest in a way that aims to protect your pension savings against changes in annuity rates until you decide on the annuity that suits you. The fund includes elements which seek to reflect environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues in its investment strategy. Underlying investments may change from time to time. | The fund aims to provide an appropriate investment solution for those who plan to set up a guaranteed income (annuity) within the next five years.

We're also changing the benchmark used for your investment option. A benchmark is a way of measuring how an investment option is performing. It is a point of comparison only, and it doesn’t affect your pension savings.
We're updating the investment pathway's benchmark so it better reflects the investments now held in the investment pathway.
Old Benchmark | New Benchmark |

Transaction costs
There are transactions costs involved with making any investment pathway changes. We estimate that this may be up to 0.024% of the value of your savings or £0.24 for every £1,000.
Transaction costs aren’t extra costs from Legal & General. They’re costs that anyone switching funds must pay every time they buy and sell units. The cost can change daily and is included in the unit prices used to calculate the value of your pension plan. We’ve considered these costs as part of the decision-making process to enhance the L&G PMC Investment Pathway Option 2.
For more information on transaction costs please go to legalandgeneral.com/transactioncosts.
What do you need to do?
You do not need to do anything if you’re happy with this change. You can stay in this pathway and we’ll automatically make these changes on 25 November 2026.
If your plans for taking money from your pension have changed, you may want to review whether this investment pathway is still right for you.
If you want to choose a different option that better suits your plans, please do so before 20 November 2026.
