These figures include fund charges and the HL account charge of 0.45%. Your HL account charge could be lower than this, but it will not be higher. The figures are in monetary terms and do not account for inflation, which will reduce spending power over time. These figures are an example, they are not a guarantee of a positive return. There is a 1 in 6 chance that the amount you get back could be lower than shown. You could even get back less than you invest. Data correct as at: 27 June 2024.

How we forecast outcomes

Our forecasts for risk and return are based on three main things:

  • Investment theory – what is a sensible expectation?
  • Market implied forecasts – what does the market expect?
  • Historical outcomes – are our forecasts consistent with historical experience?

We look at the risk and return on individual types of investment, like UK shares and global government bonds, as well as how changes in the price of one type of investment could affect the prices of all the types of investment. This allows us to forecast how different portfolios of investments will perform. These forecasts are based on our strategic asset allocation models – models which show different types of investments grouped together and how they perform, which provide the starting point for us when building funds. They do not include any expectations for extra performance that we aim to generate through more tactical choices the managers make, or any additional risks. When we look at risk, we review:

  • How each type of investment and portfolio goes up and down and by how much.
  • The range of expected performance
  • The maximum amount a fund can fall in value over a period of time
  • The chances of an investment beating inflation
  • The portfolios will also reflect HL’s managers combined knowledge and experience.

Expectations are accurate at the point in time and will change as markets and allocations change. Forecasts do not take account of any tax considerations that you may need to consider.

See how the costs will affect your investment in detail

The fund charge is taken automatically from the money within your pension. It includes all fund expenses but transactions within the funds can have additional costs. These costs are incurred by all funds when investments within them are bought or sold, and they are reflected in the fund's performance. The HL account charge covers the automatic changing of funds within your pension when needed and the cost of looking after your investments. This won’t exceed 0.45% per year and is taken from your pension once a month. This fund is managed by Hargreaves Lansdown Fund Managers Ltd, part of the Hargreaves Lansdown Group. If you invest, HL will receive the fund's management charge, as well as the HL account charge.
