How your pension is invested

When you join the pension plan, the contributions that you and/or your employer make are invested in either a fund or a lifestyle profile that has been chosen for you. This is called the default investment option.

You’ll be told what this is in the announcement communication you receive from your employer when you first join the WorkSave Pension Plan.

Although it’s considered a suitable choice for most members, the default investment option doesn’t take into account your personal circumstances or future plans. With this in mind, given that you can make your own investment decisions, it’s worth considering whether it’s currently the most appropriate place for your pension savings to be invested.

For more information on your investments, see Fund information. For specific details about your funds such as their up-to-date performance and unit prices, visit our Fund centre.

If you think you want to make your own investment decisions, visit Investment guide - your pension pot for the things you need to consider.

As well as caring about your financial future we believe that we have a responsibility to consider the impact that the companies that we invest in have on the world around us.
