How is my AVC fund invested?

Joining the Civil Service Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme entitles you to make your own decisions as to how your AVCs should be invested. Scottish Widows offers a wide range of pension investment funds to suit your needs. (For further details please see Investment Options and Charges).

What information will I receive?

You will receive a yearly statement showing the value of your AVC fund and the contributions made. Details of unit prices for all of the investment funds available can be viewed on our Daily Fund Prices page.

If you require further information about the Scheme or your benefits, or if you would like to see a copy of the Civil Service Pension Scheme Rules or the Trustees' Report, you should contact your pension administrator. You can also call Scottish Widows on 0800 0284 419 from 9am - 9pm weekdays and 9am - 1pm on Saturdays.

Information about the Scheme (including information about the address at which the Administrator of the Scheme may be contacted) has been given to the Registrar of Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes.
