Your Pension, Your Problem? Inside Nest’s Big Investment Shift  
Podcast: Merryn Talks Money
Published On: Wed Apr 22 2026
Description: Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss the ongoing push into private markets by Britain's largest workplace pension scheme (by membership), the National Employment Savings Trust. NEST plans to invest roughly £30 billion of its members' cash in private markets by the end of the decade. But what if you don't want your money invested in private assets? The pair discuss what you can do as an individual, and also look at the questions the plan raises about transparency, investor awareness, and whether - and how - savers should have more say in where their money is invested.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
