How your pension is invested

Unless you chose otherwise, or the Trustees wrote to you to confirm an alternative, your fund were invested in the default investment option set by the Trustee(s).

The default investment option for Smiths Industries Pension Scheme is the L&G Cash Lifestyle. The L&G Cash Lifestyle factsheet provides information about the aims.

Although it’s considered an appropriate 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 right place for your pension savings to be invested.
