Magnet and Compass portfolio funds
Magnet range
Generally, these portfolios use actively managed funds. These are funds where the manager is trying to deliver better returns than the markets they are invested in.
Compass range
These portfolios use more of our passively managed funds. These are funds that aim to give you returns that are pretty much in line with the markets they are invested in.
Risk levels
Both the Magnet and Compass portfolio ranges offer different levels of risk. We rate this using the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) risk scale where a score of 1 indicates the lowest risk and 7 indicates the highest risk.
So whether you are adventurous with your finances or prefer to play it safe, you can pick a portfolio fund that suits you. Try our Investment Suitability Tool to help you figure out your attitude to risk.

Once you get your pension set up, you can also sign up for our Online Service Centre. It lets you keep track of everything from your policy details and current pension fund value to how your investments are doing.
