About the Nutmeg pension

One low Nutmeg fee of 0.75% up to £100k and 0.35% beyond. Plus avg. investment fund cost of 0.21% and avg. effect of market spread of 0.08%. (Our lower-fee fixed allocation portfolios are not available in pensions.) Learn more about fees
Is there a minimum investment?
The minimum investment for a Nutmeg pension is £5,000, which allows us to create a globally diverse mix of investments. To get started you can make a contribution from your bank account or transfer pensions into Nutmeg, provided their total value is £5,000 or more.
What is Nutmeg's track record?
We always publish our portfolio performance after fees and compared to our competitors so you can see exactly how we’ve been doing. Please remember that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. See our results
Your assets are held by State Street Corporation, one of the world's largest custodian banks, and Barclays Bank. This means that your money is always kept separate from Nutmeg’s assets. Remember, as with all investing there is risk: the value of your investments can go down as well as up.
Transfer a pension
All your personal pension pots in one fully
managed online portfolio.
As with all investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your pension can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invest. Eligibility to invest in a pension depends on personal circumstances. Tax rules may change in future. If you need help with pensions, seek financial advice. Note that you can't withdraw money from a personal pension until you're 55.
