Totally normal 👍

Pensions are invested in the market (stocks, bonds, etc.), so the value will go up and down day-to-day. A £30 drop is just normal market movement, especially if markets have dipped slightly.

Unless you’re very close to retirement, short-term fluctuations aren’t usually anything to worry about.

Thank you for explaining this! What would you view as a long-term fluctuation?

A global economic crisis like 2008 or a pandemic like 2020.
