TPT launches new self-select funds to enhance responsible investment choices for DC members

TPT is launching a range of new investment funds for its Defined Contribution members. The additional self-select funds provide members with greater choice of socially responsible investment strategies, such as low carbon transition and positive impact investing. 

The launch of the new funds will provide members with a range of strategies to align with varying investment beliefs, risk appetites and financial goals.

The funds encompass a diverse range of asset classes, including equities, bonds and infrastructure.

The TPT Global Impact Equity Fund focuses on four themes including social inclusion and education, environment and resource needs, healthcare and quality of life, and financial inclusion. The fund invests in global companies with the aim of delivering positive change across the four investment themes.

The TPT Global Impact Bond Fund seeks to invest primarily in debt issued by companies whose products and services address specific environmental and social challenges, including improving access to basic life essentials, reducing inequality and mitigating the effects of climate change. 

Philip Smith, DC Director at TPT Retirement Solutions said: 

"We are thrilled to introduce these new funds to our DC Master Trust offering. As we understand that every individual's retirement journey is unique, our expanded range of investment options enable members to tailor their pension investments according to their social and environmental beliefs, specific financial objectives and risk preferences.

The launch of the new funds demonstrates the ability of Master Trusts to offer greater diversification and innovation to scheme members. Not only will the allocation towards impact investment be beneficial to members, but it can also fund projects that improve communities and the environment."

In addition to the launch of these new funds, TPT Retirement Solutions remains dedicated to providing unparalleled member support, education, and personalised guidance. The goal is to equip members with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed investment decisions and achieve their retirement goals with confidence.
