We’re changing the investments in the DC section of the Plan

Following a detailed review, the Trustee has decided to make some changes to align the Plan’s investment options with members’ attitudes to risk, their desire to invest responsibly and how they want to use their savings in retirement.

We’ve written to every member explaining how the changes will affect their DC savings. If you haven’t received your letter, contact the DHL Group Pensions Department.

What’s changing:

  • Changing the Plan’s default Lifestyle strategy from the current DHL Lifestyle Annuity to a new DHL Lifestyle Drawdown, which targets drawdown at retirement.
  • Adding the DHL Global Equities fund to the mix of funds used in Lifestyle, a generally higher risk fund with a higher growth potential.
  • Ensuring that your savings stay in funds with higher growth potential for longer to give your savings more chance to grow.
  • Improving the focus on Environmental, Social and Governance factors for some funds within the Lifestyle strategies.

Website blackout period

While we make these changes, this website will be in blackout from 19 March 2024 to 2 April 2024. This means you won’t be able to access your pension account online or make any changes to your investments during that time.
