Nest pensions

We're investing more in the UK. But what does that mean? By investing in the UK we can help boost local economies, increase jobs, and hopefully improve contributions to your pension pot. Over a fifth of our investments are based in the UK, representing around £10 billion in UK assets - and by the end of the decade, we expect to have doubled that.

Our Head of Sustainability Strategy, Katharina Lindmeier, CFA, contributed to the DCIF’s report into The Path to Net Zero and believes that while we think that reaching net zero by 2050 is in the best interests of our members, the entire economy needs to shift to net zero to achieve that. “Achieving net zero isn’t just a pledge for Nest, it is an active journey that we have always taken meaningfully because it is in the best interests of our members. No single actor can achieve net zero along. At Nest, we continue to work closely with fund managers, companies and policymakers to set and raise ambition and push for meaningful real-world change toward accelerate decarbonisation. The road to transition toward net zero is challenging, but it’s an essential journey to help ensure long-term retirement benefits for our members.” Download the report to read more https://lnkd.in/eQFBvsFH

Beth started her business by selling second hand scarves on social media and at markets. Five years on, she owns a physical shop on the newly revitalised Kingland Crescent – a high street in Poole, Dorset. Nest members invested in the revitalisation project – led by Legal & General– that helped small business owners, like Beth. She’s one of 10 entrepreneurs on the high street who received two years rent completely free. We spoke to Beth to learn more about her journey and how the investment into Poole has helped her.

Climate change could have an impact on employees’ pensions savings, as more organisations look to make the transition to net zero.

10 years ago, Steve was homeless and suffering from drug addiction. Having learnt furniture restoration in rehab, he was able to turn his negative habits into positive ones and dedicated his time to perfecting his new craft. Today, he’s the proud of a furniture restoration shop, Restored Retro, in Poole, Dorset – and that’s in part thanks to your pension investments. Through our partnership with Legal & General, we’ve invested some of your pension savings into property projects across the UK, including an initiative to help revitalise Poole’s high street. Steve is one of 10 entrepreneurs that were given the opportunity to set up a shop in the town centre. We sat down with Steve, to hear more about his story and how getting into furniture restoration has changed his life.

Today, in Westminster, CIOs of the UK’s largest pensions funds and largest local Government pension pool and senior UK Government officials came together to discuss the policy recommendations outlined in Mobilising pension capital for net zero: a policy blueprint for the UK.   We’re proud to partner with IFM Investors to highlight the cross-sector reforms that, we believe, will enable crowding in pension capital at scale, giving investors of pension capital greater clarity and confidence in the UK market. This is a first-time collaboration between Nest, IFM investors, and some of the largest pension funds in the UK and Australia.   The blueprint calls for policy reforms that aim to crowd in pension capital to support investment in the UK’s net zero transition, drive economic growth and deliver appropriate risk-adjusted returns on workers’ retirement savings.   Read here: https://bit.ly/3UjMgSX   #TheUKBlueprint #IFMInvestors #PensionCapital #Pensions #Infrastructure #CleanPower #NetZero
