The fund you choose can have a significant impact on your pension savings, so it's important to think carefully before making a change.

If you’re unsure which fund is right for you, visit Choosing a different fund to explore your options. You may also want to talk to a financial adviser before making any changes. There’s likely to be a charge for this. For more information on finding an adviser in your area, see our Further guidance and help page.

You should read a fund's factsheet before investing. Please be aware that the value of all investments may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest.

Fund switching

If you’ve considered your options and feel confident about the fund you’d like to switch to, the process is straightforward.

You can switch funds at any time, but the steps you’ll need to follow will depend on the product you have. Select the tab for your product below and we’ll guide you through the steps you need to take.
