Featuring a range of high-quality investment solutions that clients, subject to advice, are free to select, and combine, to best suit their needs, our single open architecture investment platform has been designed to evolve in line with regulatory and industry developments.
Our investment solutions are built around 3 key pillars:
Our default investment strategy, FutureWise provides a solution for all retirement options.
FutureWise has been designed for the era of auto enrolment and pension flexibilities. It targets an asset mix at retirement that can generate sustainable income, but also deliver the capital stability required by those buying an annuity or taking cash. It uses a wide range of investments to increase the level of diversification and reduce the level of volatility, with the governance and oversight conducted by Fidelity. It uses a sophisticated risk-controlled framework and aims to target consistent and sustainable outcomes for members over time. Taken together, these factors aim to help members make the most of their savings throughout their working lives, while leaving them the flexibility to take their retirement income in the ways they choose. While diversification aims to manage investment risk it cannot eliminate it.
A key advantage of FutureWise is that we remain responsible for the ongoing governance and suitability of the strategy, minimising the input needed from the employer. If, as plan sponsor, you want to play a more active role in designing the investment strategy, we can construct bespoke solutions together with you and / or your consultant.
Our lifestyle strategy solution has been specifically designed for the current environment, where auto-enrolment and pension flexibilities offer both opportunities and challenges for members.

When searching for their schemes, members can use the scheme code, their employer name or the URL all of which are provided on their member benefit statements.
Please note that trust-based schemes are currently only covered by these regulations, although this may change in the future as the Financial Conduct Authority look to improve transparency for all investors.
