Why choose Nest

Easy and straightforward online services

With Nest Connect, you can enrol workers, set up contributions and make payments online for multiple employers, whenever it suits you. 

Payroll software integration 

Our smart web services integrate with a number of the most commonly used payroll softwares so you can automate payroll data submission, simplify month-to-month payroll obligations and reduce any chance of errors. 

A five-star scheme

As an authorised master trust, our focus is on providing a scheme you can trust. We always meet the rigorous requirements set out by The Pensions Regulator. That’s why Defaqto have given us a five-star rating seven years in a row.

Effective communications for employees

We provide a pension duties toolkit that includes statutory notice templates covering enrolment and re-enrolment, helping your clients meet their legal duties. If your clients want to go a step further to promote the benefits of pension saving with their workforce then our communication toolkits should do the job. They span everything from targeted posters, emails and flyers to videos and payslip notices.

An award-winning investment strategy

We believe our default investment strategy, the Nest Retirement Date Fund, is one of the best around. It’s great when our peers think so too, winning us many awards for the way we manage members’ money. According to independent experts Defaqto, we’ve delivered some of the UK’s best risk-adjusted returns compared to other providers over the last five years. We also offer alternative fund choices to reflect the needs of our members with different faiths, beliefs, and attitudes to risk. You and your clients can see how our funds are performing in our quarterly investment report.

A bigger pension in a better world

Sustainably minded employers and employees can rest assured that Nest’s investment strategy takes people and the planet into account, as well as profits. We have made a strong commitment to responsible investing because we believe this is the right thing to do and will increase the returns our members see on their investments. 

We’re run in our customers’ interests

Unlike other providers, we’re a public body. That means no owners or shareholders to answer to. As a Trustee, we run the scheme in the interests of delivering value for money for our members.
