Things to know about investing

Why invest?

When you pay into a pension, your money is invested. This gives it more opportunity to grow than if you put it in a savings account, but remember the value of your pension can go down as well as up, and may be worth less than what was paid in.

This section explains more about how investments work, what funds are and how you can choose between them.
