Pension Switching

Pension Switching

We’ve reduced the charges on our Retirement Account, and created a Six Step Guide to pension switching

We’ve amended the charging structure on our Retirement Account – to make it a more cost-effective solution for your clients with pension funds up to £200,000*. This will help:

  • Provide you with a more compelling option for transfer
  • Give your clients with lower funds better value
  • Give more of your clients access to the account.

The Retirement Account continues to provide transparency on costs,and the support of a single dedicated Account Manager.

We have also created a six step guide to help you when advising clients on pension switching. The guide:

  • Takes you through a suggested review process
  • Helps explain the legal and technical issues
  • Helps you ensure your clients’ needs are met.
