Video: What is Pension Power, and How Do You Use It?
Video Transcript:
What does pension power actually mean? You pay into your pension fund every month, but did you know that money has a superpower? It's called Pension Power.
Pension Power is the collective influence of all our retirement savings. We're talking about nearly $6 trillion in the US alone! Together, that money forms a massive block of investors.
How do you use it? You use your voice. By asking your fund trustees to exercise strong financial stewardship over those assets, you can influence companies. This isn't just about returns; it's about impact. You can push for investments in clean energy or demand better labor practices. It means your retirement money works to build the resilient communities and stable economy you want to retire into.
So, how do you start? Simple: Find out how your fund is invested! Review its annual reports and ask your trustees about their climate and social policies. Your pension is a powerful lever for change. Use your voice, protect your money, and protect your future. Follow for more ways to activate your Pension Power!
