Pension Update
We're making changes to the investment arrangements in the Defined Contribution (DC) Section of the Thomson-Leng Provident Fund.
Overview
In September 2026, the following changes will take place:
-
DC assets will move to a new investment platform provided by Mobius Life
-
Changes will be made to the Target Retirement Path investment strategies, including the default investment option, with the aim of improving long-term retirement outcomes for members
To support the implementation of these changes, there will be a temporary blackout period on OneView, the online pensions platform, between 2nd September and 6th October 2026, during this time some member transactions and services will be unavailable.
Members planning to retire or transfer benefits before or during the blackout period should contact Aptia by 4th August 2026 to allow sufficient time for processing.
This page will be updated regularly as the project progresses and additional information becomes available.

Temporary Blackout Period
To allow the transition to the new platform and the investment strategy changes to be completed, there will be a temporary blackout period affecting certain member transactions and services.
During this period:
-
OneView will not be accessible between 15 September and 6 October 2026
-
Retirements and transfers out of the Fund cannot be processed
-
Changes to retirement savings, including investment switches, will not be possible
Most members do not need to take any action.
Planning to Retire or Transfer Benefits?
Members who are planning to retire or transfer their benefits before the blackout period starts should contact Aptia by 4 August 2026.
This deadline allows sufficient time for retirement quotations or transfer documentation to be processed and for any required information to be provided before service restrictions begin.
