Nest members see how their pension is powered

Wind turbines aren’t the first thing that spring to mind when you think about pensions. However, projects like the Lincs windfarm are an important way for us to try to protect your money.

Protecting you from risk

The more markets you’re invested in, the more your risk is spread across different regions, industries, sectors and more.

We invest your Nest pension savings in more places than the average provider, including everything from solar farms to commercial property to sustainable timber.

It helps us to futureproof your pension and protect your savings if one of your investments takes a tumble.

Investing in your community

Your money is hard at work for you, and also hard at work for your community.

Investing in UK projects brings jobs and businesses to areas like Grimsby, improving life for hard-working folk like Pete.

It’s one of the ways we support the 1 in 3 UK workers who have a Nest pension.

Meet Pete, local fishmonger and pension investor

Pete works in Grimsby fish market. He’s spent 10 years looking out at the turbines on the horizon but had no idea that he part-owned them.

He’s proud to be with Nest, having seen how these investments have improved his community.

"The windfarm has completely changed Grimsby. And for the better.

The boats that service the windfarms are usually rented from local companies, which brings in business to local fishermen. The docks have also transformed over the years. They’ve become more alive. It’s now one of the busiest places in Grimsby.

I was surprised to find out that my pension goes into things right on my doorstep that I see most days from work."
