I saw that. It makes good sense for young people, but I am not sure how I feel about it for people who are approaching retirement. Illiquidity could be an issue.

I would prefer to have the option to opt-out.

Yes, it's not for me.
Does provide another consideration/ option for those interested.
DD as usual though.

I have my KS with Simplicity (Balanced fund), with two years to go before I'm 65. Not interested in switching providers at this stage of life but I would have preferred a say in whether or not I wished to participate in this.
