hi all

currently investing in a group personal pension plan with royal london.

As i am some 40 years from retirement, my appetite is for risk is more than the fund i am currently invested in - can i change to a fund with higher risk of my choosing and still receive my employer's contribution?

    Yes, provided it is one of the funds on offer within your GPPP. Have a look at the scheme booklet/joining documentation (if you can find them!) or check online if your GPPP offers you that facility.

    You should have online access, password etc and then you can see all the funds that are available. 
    Which fund you pick has no effect on employer contributions.

    the online access for RL is absolutely awful, i will have a trawl through to find the welcome booklet etc! - i was going to most this on the investment board but seeing as you have given me great insight in the past, i don't suppose you know of any good funds to look at? i want something similar to a life strategy 100 (higher risk and diversified) - thanks

    They are not really geared for that sort of market.

    Yes.

    Look at the Governed portfolio options.
