Watch our short film about the options you have to help your TPT savings grow and what to think about.
You have a choice when it comes to where your savings pot is invested. There’s always risk associated with investing, so it’s really about what feels comfortable for you and how you want to manage it.
Initially, where your savings pot is invested will be chosen for you, and it will be placed in a 'Target Date Fund'. This fund will automatically change where your savings pot is invested the closer you get to your retirement age. Remember, you can choose where your savings pot is invested if you want to.

The amount you and your employer pay in each month benefits from tax relief from the Government. You can also take 25% of your retirement savings tax free when you choose to access them. So altogether, it’s a tax-efficient way of saving for your future.
If you choose to leave the Scheme, then the options available to you depend on how long you have been a member and your age.
If you’ve been auto enrolled and a member for less than 30 days, the payments you have made will be refunded, and it’ll be like you never joined.
If you've been in the Scheme longer than 30 days, you can leave your savings pot with TPT until you choose to take it.
