1 The performance figures are based on simulated 10-year average annualised returns of our portfolios, as of December 2019. Source: FE Analytics and Dimensional Return Programme 2.0 (for some of the funds indices that provide guide information on historical performance have been used). When we talk about the benchmark we are referring to an Investment Association average composition that matches the risk rating for each of our typical portfolios.
A powerful engine for your savings
Through our portfolios, our clients’ money is invested in Dimensional funds. Created by Nobel Prize winners, Dimensional aims to help you get the most out of your savings whatever the market conditions. As a result, they consistently beat the benchmark.
This is how much more your retirement pot could be with a Pension Egg portfolio, compared with a benchmark portfolio1 and 2.
Important: as with all pensions, capital is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
2 This is based on an initial sum of £50,000 in a Pension Egg Future Life Poised portfolio invested for 20 years compared with a benchmark portfolio.
Love your pension sunny side up…
Portfolio performance is one of the big four things to consider when it comes to increasing the size of your pension. The other three are:
Charges
Contributions
Investment period
Take a 40-year-old with a £50,000 pot growing at 5%, on average, each year with annual charges of 1.2%. The graph shows how much their pension would be worth aged 60 if they did nothing, compared to tackling performance, charges and contributions. It also looks at the impact of leaving your savings invested for a further five years.
