permitted investments.
Investments held in our self-invested pensions must meet our requirements for permissable assets. Occassionally legislation will affect particular asset types and render them unacceptable, where this is the case we reserve the right to disinvest.
Members can appoint an investment manager to run portfolios in their scheme. If so, we offer guidance on the administration requirements and acceptability of assets.
Note that this list is not exhaustive; please contact us if you are in doubt or if your investment choice is not on the list. Please also get in touch if you would like to appoint a discretionary fund manager or stockbroker to ensure it is approved.
