Our auto-switching range
We have several options available, depending on your pension. They all have different levels of involvement (like high or low), outcomes and risk levels, so make sure your choices are suitable for you and the level of risk you’re comfortable with. See how we define the risk levels through risk/return ratings.
The value of your investments can go down as well as up, and may be worth less than has been paid in
If you have a workplace pension scheme, your employer may also offer different options specific to their scheme, so ask your employer for details. If you’re unsure what options are available, check your policy documents.
