Your risk level is {placeholder}
The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and isn't guaranteed. The final value of your savings pot when you come to take benefits may be less than has been paid in. There's no guarantee the funds will meet their objectives. You can't access your savings until you take your benefits.
About Retiready Stability
This fund matches our risk level 1 and aims to deliver positive returns in excess of a bank deposit account over the medium to long term. It’s designed for very cautious investors who might otherwise invest in cash or for those whose main priority is preserving the value of their savings rather than growing them. Even if there’s a sudden fall in markets, we wouldn’t expect this fund to fall by more than 5%*, although this isn't guaranteed. The downside to this is that returns are likely to be lower and there’s a greater risk that the real value of your savings may be eroded by inflation over the long term.
The fund invests in a wide variety of investments from all over the world, and in different funds, so investors are not reliant on the success of just one manager or type of investment.
This fund is different from Retiready Solutions 2 to 5. It manages risk in a completely different way and its investment charge of 0.89% is also higher.
For more information and fund specific risks, please see the factsheet.
The Retiready Stability fund is only available for pension investors.
* During the height of the market volatility caused by the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the fund fell by less than 5%. (Source: Financial Express, net of charges). This example shouldn't be taken as a guide to how the fund will perform in the future. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and isn't guaranteed.
