Your Nest pension gives you access to a range of benefits designed to deliver value for our members' money.
Welcome to Nest
We are a workplace pension scheme set up by the government, helping millions to enjoy a better retirement.
We've designed our scheme with our members in mind. We've a range of benefits that deliver value for our members' money. These include the features of the scheme, the way it's governed, how it's administered and our investment approach.
We provide the same access to a workplace pension scheme to all members, whether their employer is a small business or a multi-national and regardless of their contribution level.

We want to keep things easy and straightforward for our members. That's why we provide a single retirement pot for life. You can keep the same retirement pot, using a single login and account however many times you change jobs, stop working or become self-employed.
This way members can contribute to their pot to help it grow. If you move to a new employer that also uses Nest, then they can make contributions to your existing retirement pot.
This makes it simple for our members and it also means that we can keep the number of membership records down and our costs low.

If a member doesn't make a fund choice, we'll put their money into our flagship default fund. We call this a Retirement Date Fund.
These use the member's retirement date to decide the appropriate way to invest their money at the appropriate time. This will depend on how close to retirement they are.
For those members who wish to choose an alternative to the default fund, we have a choice of funds that may better suit their faiths, beliefs and attitudes to risk.

We have one simple charging structure for everyone, and we don't charge for transferring other pots in. Our charges are made up of two parts:
So, if £25 is being added to your pot each month, for example – of this £25 we would take a contribution charge of 45p.
So, if your total retirement pot is worth £5,000, for example – this means we would charge £15 over the year.
