Choosing how to invest your contributions
With the Telefónica UK Pension Plan (“the Plan”), you can choose how your pension contributions are invested.
You can choose a low involvement ‘Lifestyle’ option or take more control with a ‘Selfstyle’ option. If you don't make a choice your savings will automatically be put into the Lifestyle option called "Getting ready for Flexible Retirement".
Why choose the Lifestyle option?
Lifestyle requires the least input from you. Your contributions are invested in funds that are selected by the Plan’s Trustee. As your retirement approaches, your savings are gradually switched into funds which offer greater stability.
Why choose the Selfstyle option?
Selfstyle offers you more control, but takes more time and effort for you to manage. This option allows you to invest your savings into nine different fund options. You can invest a proportion of your contributions in any combination of funds, ranging from putting everything into one fund, to putting some of your contributions into all of them. The choice is yours.
How can I change my investment choice?
