Okay. You're talking about "in specie", which is latin for "in coin" - but is typically used in investment terms surrounding a trade/barter/merger/dividend where you get something in exchange for another. For example, if company A buys company B whereby you get get company A shares swapped "in specie" for your company B shares that you owned.
The benefits depend on what you get "in kind" for the trade. The trade may be for a bigger, better, stronger, faster growing investment. On the other hand, it might be the opposite. This would be the same whether it is in a speculative fund, pension fund or any other investment vehicle.
If you are talking about coins (which would be an odd way to use the Latin phrase), then the investments tend to be poor investments due to their very low liquidity (and subsequent loss of returns due to trading costs and timing risk). If you are relying on your pension as a retirement vehicle, you are better of investing in asset classes that have "real" productivity gains like stocks and bonds.
