The comparisons on their website were made at the end of March , when markets were near the bottom . A high risk fund would have taken the full ( or nearly full )  brunt of the drop but will have recovered strongly again since . To get a more accurate comparison you would need to compare the two funds today.

Ty...I am yet to see the higher risk fund doing better than the ethical fund.. pretty much somce autoenrolmemt started...

How long have you been looking?  An economic cycle is around 10 years.  That is the sort of period where risk differences tend to play out.  Not 2-3 years and just after a couple of negative events.

Certainly not 10 years....when  the auto enrollment kicked in ...the pension started in the ethical fund..After a couple of years I decided to move over to the higher risk fund  ...I will be 48 at the end of this year..
