About investment funds

Most pensions are invested in one or more investment funds. The aim of investing money in an investment fund is to grow the money into a larger amount, so that you have more money when you retire.

Depending on the type of investment fund, your money could be invested in property, shares, bonds, or (most commonly) a mixture of different types of investments.

Investment funds have different investment strategies. For example, some funds may aim for a higher growth strategy, but these funds may be riskier, meaning the value of the fund could rise and fall more than less-risky funds which aim for lower growth. Alternatively, some funds may have an investment strategy of ethical or socially responsible investments, meaning their investments follow certain ethical and social criteria.

You can read about Penny's fund options above, and by reading the Fund Fact Sheets. You can also ask any fund-related questions to Penny's Support team anytime.

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Pensions are long terms investments. It’s important that you know the value of your investment could go up as well as down. You could get back less than you put in. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future and pension investing is not intended to be a short-term option. Penny does not provide financial advice so please be sure that this investment is right for you.

Your current pension might have special benefits that will be lost if you transfer to Penny. These special benefits include: Guaranteed Annuity Rate (GAR), Guaranteed Bonus Rate (GBR), Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) and Protected Tax Free Cash (PFTC) over 25%. If this is the case, we will not transfer your pension, as you may be better off not transferring in these cases.

Your current provider might charge you a transfer-fee to transfer your pension to Penny. If this is the case, we will not transfer your pension, as you may be better off not transferring in these cases.

You should consider the charges and benefits before transferring your old pensions to your new plan, and consider whether the risk and reward profile of the investments offered matches your needs. It may be that your current provider has lower fees than Penny - where this is the case, we recommend that you carefully consider whether to transfer your pension to Penny, as you may be better off not transferring in these cases.

If you are in any doubt about proceeding you should contact a financial adviser.
