Avila a Invesco Global Equity Pension

My works pension is an Aviva Stakeholder so I have a limited choice of funds available.

I am currently invested in the Aviva Invesco Global Equity Pension, does anyone have any views on this fund going forward?

Good fund/ bad fund
To risky/ not risky enough
Better choices available etc?

I'm about to turn 36, fund value is about 40k, just increased my payments to roughly 400 per month plus my employer adds the minimum contribution. earn roughly 27-28k.
My wife is working reduced hours at the moment once my youngest starts full time school, she plans to go full time again, I should be able to increase contributions then!

Any views welcome, thanks.

    An excellent fund type choice for a person of your age with a long investment horizon. More ups and downs than some alternatives but likely better end result.

    Worth looking at the returns of other global funds because it may not perform as well as others. In that case you might look into the possibility of transferring out periodically to get those potentially better returns.
