Q-Standard life company pension products

C_Mababejive

Hi all,

My company pension scheme is provided by standard life and they provide a list of standard life packaged products to pick from.

The default ones are three tiered lifestyled funds split into growth,pre-retirement and retirement and the pension pot is automatically lifestyled purely by age as you move toward retirement.

There are also quite a few other products.

I'm trying to find out more information on them as the packaged data isnt very comprehensive.


For example a few im looking at are;

(1)SL Shariah global equity (MT) pension fund SL code AAKK. What does the MT stand for? I believe this is simply a renamed HSBC fund by the name of SL HSBC Islamic global equity index pension fund. I dont have a fund code for it so that i can research it. The fund seems to have risen sharply in recent times ,much higher than its comparable global indexes so might not be a good buy at the moment anyway?

(2) SL passive overseas equity (MT) pension fund    SL code NBNI

(3) SL passive global equity 50:50 (MT) pension fund   SL code  LNGK

i there somewhere i could dig deeper on these? underlying assets, performance etc??


Thanks all..

MT normally refers to 'Master Trust'.

A bit of googling on the fund names rather than codes might help eg try  SL Shariah global equity (MT) pension fund  and you get several links including  http://factsheets.financialexpress.net/SLBF/GDTK_AAKK.pdf (which sounds as if it is more comprehensive than the info you currently have?).
