Thinking About Joining

A decent pension is near the very top of employees' wish lists. And, naturally, you want to be in a scheme that is safe as ..... houses.

Looking ahead to when working days are over, it is a comforting thought that the money will still keep coming in. Enthusiastic and loyal worker that you are, when you have actually reached that stage of your life and retirement does happen, you are likely to feel more kindly about your employer than ever before! Just hear leisured people who are benefiting from a good scheme talking about their latest adventures.

The Social Housing Pension Scheme (SHPS), with more than 50,000 members and pensioners working for over 700 affiliated organisations, has been getting it together since the late 1960's whatever the conditions. Growing up with the expansion of social housing in the UK it is part of The Pensions Trust, the leading provider in the sector.

How SHPS works is really quite simple. Using contributions from you and your employer, The Pensions Trust's investment managers strive to achieve the best possible returns to generate funds for your future. In all its investments, The Pensions Trust makes no profit for itself and has no shareholders. So where does that leave you? With less money worries when you're older, that's where!
