What do I need to watch out for?
Your pension savings are exposed to investment risk
Higher risk investments can help your money grow more. But there’s also a greater chance of losing money. And with lower risk investments, your money may not grow as much as you want it to.
Of course, investment returns are never guaranteed, So while your pension savings could grow, their value can also go down – meaning you could get back less than you started with.
You could be charged more
Some investment options carry an extra charge. So before you choose your own investments, you should speak to your financial adviser. They can give you an idea of the impact any extra charges could have on your pension savings over time.
Think about how long you have to save
The longer your money remains invested, the more opportunity it has to grow, although there are no guarantees.
Consider the impact of inflation
In the future, your money won’t go as far as it does today. To protect the buying power of your money, you need to consider ways to counterbalance the long-term effects of inflation.
You should have a mix of investments
It’s worthwhile considering having a mix of investments, in case some of your investments don’t perform as well as you’d hoped.
You’ll need to regularly review your investments
Choosing a fund when you set up your plan isn’t enough. You should review your investments regularly to make sure they continue to meet your needs.
Attitude to risk
Everyone’s view of risk is different – some people are more comfortable taking risks, while others are naturally more risk-averse.
