Where to Invest

Options
I am 51 and I am looking to pay into a private pension plane for the next 15 years. Any suggestions on where is the best place to invest with? Looking to pay in about £80. I currently earn £21,000 and am enrolled with my employer to pay pension which they  match

    Why not just increase the contributions in your employer’s scheme? Especially if they’ll match your £80 (they might not). 
  • I didn't think of that so definitely will enquire with  my employer !

    If it's a salary sacrifice or smart pension it will also be better value to pay into the employer scheme as you get the NI saving as well.

    Also you should have access to the pension on line ? Worth checking where /how your money is actually invested within the workplace pension .
    Also do you have any pensions from previous employers ?
