I opened up my online statement from my investments. I'm confused... what does my crystallised and Uncrystallised funds mean? I'm sure I've been told before. Thanks |

Uncrystallised funds are usually still "fluid" - I.e. you're still contributing, and are available to invest in a wide range of funds. Funds normally become crystallised when you to start to draw down against them, and you aren't contributing in to them regularly any more, and have more limited range of investment options. |

Just had my offer from Arcadia. They are offering me basically 21 years of pension . My pension is very small so just wondering if I should just do it. It would help top up my draw down from my investment and then when I get my NHS lump sum I could invest it

It will at least be a cushion to my ‘wage’ and a little left to do a course I want to do. Long way to go but I know I will have an inheritance from my dad as well so things don’t seem so scary now. |
