In your pension plan, money is put aside for when you retire. This accrued amount (or pension capital) can then be used to buy a pension with an insurer when you retire. A relatively large amount of capital is needed to make sure you receive a sufficient pension. To reach this amount of capital you will most likely have to invest since relying on interest alone won’t give you enough return. Investing is therefore necessary for a good pension.
LifeSight ensures adequate accrual of pension capital. We offer two investment options: Smart Investing (NextGenDC™) or Self-Investing (opting out). Under the Smart Investing option, pension is accrued through investments in three LifeSight PPI funds, which have been specially developed by LifeSight. Self-Investing (opting out) offers freedom of choice in terms of investment mix and investment funds in which the pension capital is accrued and invested.
