For most of us, a pension may be the biggest investment we hold in our lifetimes. And yet, so many of us have little engagement with that money. Research by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) found that although 82% of pension savers understand that their pension’s invested, only 26% know what it’s invested in.

But what if we did take an interest in our pension and where it’s invested now? Here are three reasons to think about where your pension’s invested today.

You can invest in line with your ethical values - if you looked into where your pension’s invested, you might find it doesn’t align with your life choices and personal values. The campaign Make My Money Matter found that 68% of UK pension holders want their investments to consider people and the planet alongside profit. But you can only align your pension with your principles if you look at where it’s invested in the first place.

You can cut your carbon footprint - an increasing number of us are making more sustainable lifestyle choices to cut our carbon footprint - the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused by an activity or product over its life cycle. You might be going veggie, giving up flying or switching energy providers in a bid to cut yours. According to Make My Money Matter, ‘greening’ your pension is 21x more powerful at fighting climate change than all these efforts combined.

You could benefit from greater financial returns - The latest Good Investment Review shows that actively managed sustainable funds have performed comparatively well to their traditional peers in recent years, despite difficult market conditions. While companies that do harm to the environment face a future of increasing consumer criticism, government regulation and financial penalties.
