This is misleading. So from what I gather it is trying to get pension funds to invest riskier, which may see returns but can also see losses. It could also be “savers set for £1000 a year pension loss under plan to invest in uk start-ups”
Very mixed signals about this.
If the opportunities were that rewarding, the state and investors should be putting their own money into it. But also, riskier pension investment options are nothing new. As long as the policy holder is given the option of this risk, like they currently are.
Investing in startups? That’s ok but definitely not with pension funds. Too much risk.
I was so shocked when I looked at the dross a NEST default fund was invested in… reforms here are absolutely necessary.
Why are 20 year olds being put so heavily in shit bonds and commodities instead of equities given the 40 year growth time?
I’ll wait to see specifics of reforms, but the pension sector needs a boost.
