The Secret Life of Pensions

What does your pension get up to after it leaves your pay packet?

It doesn’t just sit in an account somewhere until you retire. It's busy working hard in the real world so that when you’re older, hopefully you won’t have to.

Where does my pension go? How is my pension invested? Is my pension invested responsibly? Why is my pension invested?
