How your pension is invested
Your pension savings are invested in our funds and aim to grow. Investment returns are never guaranteed. So while your savings could grow, their value can also go down. This means you could get back less than what you put into your plan.

You can normally start taking your pension savings from age 55 - even if you're still working. This will increase to age 57 from 6 April 2028.
