Delivering quality investments

We want to help our members have a better retirement, whenever and whatever you save. We deliver high quality investments by:

Having an in-house team	Our team of experts look after your money and take responsibility for all important investment decisions.
Using research and analysis	All of our investment decisions are based on ongoing evidence, research and analysis activities, including detailed insight into what our members need and expect from us. This helps us identify where to invest our members’ money, spreading it in a wide range of investments around the world.
Having high-quality fund managers	We appoint world class fund managers in both public and private markets. We build long-lasting relationships with these managers and regularly review and monitor their performance.
Being responsible and sustainable	All of our members’ money is invested responsibly and sustainably. We assess how the companies, sectors and economies we invest in are run, and their impact on people and the planet, in our investment processes.
Reporting back and being transparent	We believe it’s important to be transparent. That’s why we report back on how we’re doing through things like our responsible investment reports, fund factsheets and voting reports.
