1 implementation document End of June to end of September 2016 All of NEST s funds are delivered by our expert in-house team blending building block funds managed by professional external fund managers. The implementation document (IID) provides information on how this works in practice. Table 1 shows the underlying building block funds used to implement the investment strategy of NEST s fund range. It also shows the total exposure of all NEST funds to each underlying fund as a percentage of all the money managed by NEST. Table 2 show shows the selection of building block funds used to deliver each of the NEST funds and the resulting asset allocations. Figure 1 shows the asset allocation for each single year target date fund in the default range of NEST Retirement Date s. This information is updated quarterly. The IID is a companion document to NEST s Quarterly investment report and Statement of investment principles (SIP). You may also find it helpful to read this document in conjunction with Looking after members money. You can find all these documents at nestpensions.org.uk

Global developed equities 2. UK gilts 3. UK index-linked gilts 4. Low-risk liquidity 5. Short-dated gilts 6. Sterling corporate bonds 7. UK direct/global listed property 8. Emerging market equities (alternative indices) 9. Emerging market debt Each NEST Retirement Date follows a glide path with a varying asset allocation each year. The Starter is for members who join NEST before they are eligible for auto enrolment. The Post Retirement fund is for members who stay with NEST past their State Pension age and do not tell us which year they would prefer to retire in. Members money can also be moved to the Post Retirement if they ve selected a retirement date between their 55th birthday and their State Pension Age if they don t retire on the date they chose. This is because the NEST Retirement Date they were invested in would have matured and closed down and at this stage we move the money over to the Post Retirement. The glide path allocation is managed dynamically and factors in market conditions that contribute to delivering the investment objectives. Please see Figure 1 for a breakdown of the asset allocation of each NEST Retirement Date. NEST Ethical this fund is automatically lifestyled across three phases. Switching from foundation phase to growth phase is linear and occurs automatically over five years. Switching from growth phase to consolidation phase is linear and occurs over 10 years.
