Workplace pension via Pru

1
The company I worked for set us all up on a workplace pension fund. They used Pru for several years and I left the company after 6 years. With approx 34k in the pension, when I left, I put my final salary etc into the pension to avoid a big tax hit. In the 3 years since I have left, it has actually hit a -2% value. Despite allegedly having the finest of minds actively looking after my investment. Their words. Which is swiftly followed by the "funds can go down as well as up when investing". Yet my personal investments, which I did with an online, zero hassle, minimum fee app (Nutmeg), Has shown a consistent 10% growth in the same timeframe. So those fine allegedly human minds at Pru, might want to borrow some pointers from Nutmegs Ai, that or quit robbing me with your stupidly high monthly fees and garbage customer support. I hit 55 this year and I will be taking the whole lot out of Prue the second I can. It will be more cost effective to take the tax hit and reinvest with a company that actually performs.
