Hi updadubs
Are you self employed or a director? The reason I ask is if you are looking to reduce your personal tax liability, it is a personal pension.
If you have a limited company and want to reduce your company tax, it is a company paid pension.
That needs to be established in calculating how much can go into the pension and what particular form needs to be filled out. Then you get to the investment bit!
What is your risk tolerance?
What is the investment term?
What are you trying to achieve?
If the worst possible scenario happens, will your future lifestyle be significantly altered?
Are any trade-off required?
When those questions are answered, you can have a look at implementing a diversified investment portfolio to suit your needs. Not everything will go up or down at the same time, it is about managing your risk and expectation.
