A fully transparent investment valuation solution for the workplace member.
We believe that the working community should have the opportunity to have full transparency to their invested monies and follow their pension as it accrues over time. We proudly challenge the thesis that small values are less important. They are not. This straightforward online service enabling you to break down the barriers to understanding your investment and have in depth, transparent, 24/7 access to your invested pension.
PORTFOLIO CHOICES IN DEFAULT SCHEMES
TAM Asset Management (TAM) manage three portfolio risk choices to investors in the default scheme. Depending on the members outlook TAM are willing and able to manage your money to a Focus Defensive, Focus Balanced, or Focus Adventurous mandate.
CURRENCY
Investments are in Sterling but will have exposure, within the risk mandate to sterling, euros and dollars.
TWO ADDITIONAL NON - DEFAULT ACCOUNT CHOICES
TAM also offer access for those with an ethical inclination a Growth based ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment portfolio option. The default schemes offered for management mentioned earlier are operating at a combined TAM charge of less than 0.5% pa.
The TAM ESG Growth model will run with slightly higher charges as the managers feel that the investments available to provide return are slightly more costly and TAM does not want to compromise its performance targets by shackling to this tight charging structure.
TAM Asset Management has extended its ESG range to include religious ESG investments and runs a Growth Sharia investment portfolio. TAM has run Sharia portfolios for more than 5 years and is an industry leader, but like ESG portfolios the pricing is slightly higher than the 0.5% pa.
The OCF (Ongoing Charge Figure) for both ESG and Sharia Models are available to view in the factsheets for each portfolio type at the bottom of the page.
In the industry default schemes, and thus slightly lower pricing, are available for ESG and Sharia investment but TAM does not wish to compromise its investment diversification or investment positioning believing specialist areas need a wider remit of choice.

The financial markets do not always offer a smooth ride but investing regularly each month allows savers to build up their investments and can help to smooth out fluctuations over time.
For example, the illustration on the left shows how a monthly investment of £1,000 can grow when we assume certain growth rates.
The growth rates used in this report are purely for illustrative purposes and are not guaranteed. The actual growth rate will depend on the investment option selected and the performance of the underlying funds. Performance of the underlying funds is not guaranteed and your investment return may be lower than the contributions paid into the plan.Click here for Focus Fund Factsheet

MANAGING RISK LEVELS IN THE PORTFOLIOS
Portfolios are meticulously built and managed to ensure they
remain aligned with TAM’s views on possible market changes and
the economic outlook. Each individual fund is selected by TAM in
context of the choice of portfolio you make during the initial
account opening process.
DIVERSIFYING TO PROTECT YOUR NEST EGG
The funds in each portfolio are diversified by geography,
sector, asset class, fund manager, currency and investment
strategy. Each fund in a portfolio will invest in numerous
assets such as individual company stocks or bonds. The aim is
always to blend together investments that do not all do the same
thing at the same time especially during periods of market
stress
