5 Important information about growth rates,, and inflation To help you understand the value of your in the future, we have allowed for inflation in our calculations. Some types of or savings s, for example a savings account or a cash ISA, do not take account of inflation, so may look more attractive than they actually are if you re comparing them to this illustration. growth rates we believe are appropriate for the funds in this illustration are shown in the table below. In line with Financial Conduct Authority rules, we have reduced all growth rates by 2.5% to allow for inflation. assumed growth rate varies depending on the mix of each fund. Other funds may have different assumed growth rates. Remember - funds showing higher growth rates might be more likely to beat inflation, but they may also be more likely to lose money. illustrations in this document show what your benefits might be when you retire, if your grows each at the assumed mid growth rates shown in the table below.

6 Tax Relief Any employee include basic rate tax relief. For example for a 5% employee payment, you would pay 4% with the remaining 1% being basic rate tax relief. We ll claim this tax relief for you from HM Revenue & Customs and invest it in your. If you are a higher or additional rate taxpayer you ll need to claim the extra tax relief through your tax return. If you re paying through salary sacrifice, you can t claim tax relief on those, because you don t pay tax on the salary you give up. Lifestyle Profiling Lifestyle profiling means we ll automatically make changes between funds as you approach retirement. We ll do this gradually each month.
