I want to join BRASS

Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) are a tax-efficient way to save more towards your pension benefits.  

BRASS is the main AVC arrangement  for 1970 Section members.

Your BRASS AVCs ​are ​​invested in a range of funds with the aim of ​building up extra benefits ​over time.

You can manage your own funds or have them managed for you.  See what BRASS fund choices might work best for you.

Your BRASS benefits ​​are added to your main ​Fund benefits when you retire. ​Or, you can transfer them out.

The benefits

• Your BRASS contributions are taken from your pay before tax ​so they are tax-free 

  (unless you go over your Annual Allowance). 

• You can contribute as  little as £2 a week. 

• You can also check and change your investment funds whenever you want.​

How do I join?

​Return a joining form to your employer or speak to them directly about setting up payments.

Look after your BRASS

It's a good idea to check your investment funds regularly to make sure they're working for you.

The easiest way to do this is by signing into your myFund account. You can also see how your funds are performing and change your investments whenever you want.
