Making Extra Contributions
Your occupational pension scheme (see Occupational Pensions) may offer an additional voluntary contribution plan, or AVC. An AVC allows you to contribute extra money to your pension scheme with the intention of creating a larger retirement income when you reach pensionable age. You may be able to:
- buy extra years of scheme membership
- invest extra contributions in a separate fund
These two possibilities are detailed in articles Extra Years and Separate extra contribution fund.
