Equity Pension Funds
Equity funds invest primarily in company shares across global and regional stock markets. They offer higher growth potential over the long term but carry greater short-term price volatility. Returns are not guaranteed and the value of your investment can fall as well as rise.
Suitable for: Investors seeking long-term capital growth who can tolerate market swings.
