How your lifestyle Plan works
Saving into a pension is a simple, low cost and tax efficient way to save towards your future.
- You are not required to do anything to join the Plan and your Lifestyle Account will be set-up at the earliest opportunity.
- You and the company pay in, and the government helps out in the form of tax relief.
- You can make Additional Voluntary Contributions and Extra Contributions. When you make Additional Voluntary Contributions the company will make a further contribution.
- Your contributions will initially be invested in the Default Investment Strategy. This is known as the Target Drawdown Strategy.
- You do not have to remain in The Target Drawdown Strategy and have the freedom to make your own investment choices
- You can decide what to do with your money, and how you take it from age 55, whether or not you’ve stopped working.
