2019 looks set to be a big year for PensionBee, and we’ve kicked off the new year with some exciting new updates. We’re always working to bring you an innovative, modern pension experience, so read on to find out what we’ve been up to this month.
We’ve launched a Shariah compliant plan...
This month sees the addition of three new PensionBee plans, including our Shariah Plan. This plan invests your money only into Shariah-compliant companies, which could make it a good choice for anyone who’d like to invest responsibly. All investments are approved by an independent Shariah committee, and the fund is managed by HSBC and State Street Global Advisors, so you know your money is in safe hands. Find out more on our plans page.
The low-risk Preserve Plan...
We’re also excited to announce the launch of our Preserve Plan, a lower-risk plan that is designed to shelter your pension from stock market volatility. Instead of investing in the markets, it makes short-term investments into creditworthy companies – reducing your risk with the intention of preserving your money. Take a closer look over on our plans page.
...and our actively-managed 4Plus Plan
The 4Plus Plan could be ideal for people looking to de-risk before retirement. The long-term growth target of 4% can indicate what you’ll expect to receive, so you can start planning your retirement to a degree of certainty.
Our 4Plus Plan aims to achieve long-term growth of 4% per year, by managing your money actively across a range of global investments. The fund manager, State Street Global Advisors, responds to market developments where necessary, always seeking a balance between growth and stability. Find out more about how it works on our plans page.
