Unleash the power of your pension
When investing, your capital is at risk.
What is a personal pension?
A personal pension gives you more control over where your money is invested for retirement. It’s your chance to choose your own pension provider. And, you can transfer your old workplace pensions into one personal pension pot, so you never have to lose track of your retirement savings again. Learn more.

The returns case for impact investing
Over the past few years, impact indices have outperformed the wider market.
We invest in themes and companies that we believe will benefit from structural market trends, such as the energy transition to renewables.
*The purpose of the chart is to illustrate the case for impact investing, and is not CIRCA5000’s portfolio returns. The chart above shows the annualised returns of the MSCI ACWI Index ("Standard Index") compared with the MSCI ACWI Sustainable Impact Index ("Sustainable Impact Index") for the 5 year period up to 19th January 2023. Returns are in USD and net of dividends. Past performance is no indication or guarantee of future performance. Investing directly in either index shown is not possible via CIRCA5000. When investing in funds, other factors such as fees and currency exposures may affect your return. Source: msci.com
