Investment changes (AVCs)

Updates to your Additional Voluntary Contribution options

We’ve made the following changes to the Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) investment options available to you:

  • Introduced four new investment funds

  • Replaced the underlying managers for some of the funds

Within this page, we’ve presented a helpful summary. Please refer to the AVC Guide for more information about your investment options.

We’ve added four new funds for you to choose from, bringing the total number to seventeen:

PSPS Impact Equity - active

PSPS Diversified Liquid Alternatives – active

PSPS Islamic Global Equity – passive

PSPS Sustainable Equity - passive

Fund factsheets provide more detail regarding the individual funds including key facts and performance as well as more general information. The new fund factsheets will be available on the DC Section of the Scheme website later this year.

Each of the AVC investment funds is a bespoke fund created for members of the Scheme. As such, the assets are invested with one or more underlying investment funds. We’ve made several changes to these underlying investment funds:

PSPS Global Equity – active

PSPS Diversified Growth – active

PSPS Emerging Markets Equity - active

PSPS Overseas Equity – passive

You can find out more information about AVCs and how to make your contributions in the ‘Guide to the Defined Benefit Section’s Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) arrangements’. The first step is to complete an AVC application form held on the Scheme website, www.prudentialstaffps.co.uk, and the guide will take you through the process step by step.
