Charges and Commission

Our standard annual management charge (AMC) is 1%. This supports our basic commission options for you. Some or all of this commission can be given up for the benefit of the policyholder.

Stakeholder Pension plans – and the single annual management charge (maximum 1%) that it imposes – has had an impact on commission levels and structures. This, combined with the variable nature of the contributions has allowed us to offer a simpler and more flexible commission structure.

We allow you the flexibility to 'mix and match' from the overall menu of Initial, Level and Fund-based commission options. You can therefore select a structure that best suits your business.

The following example illustrates the effect of giving up various types of commission to improve terms:

AMC Initial commission I.C.
(plus a % of level commission)
or Level Commission or Fund-based commission
1% 45% with 0% level 3% 0.27%
1% 30% plus 1% level 3% 0.27%
0.91% 30% with 0% level 2% 018%
0.82% 15% with 0% level 1% 0.09%
0.73% 0% 0% 0%

There is a maximum limit of £6,000 that we will pay in initial commission. Any excess above this amount can be taken as fund based commission.

Please note that for regular contributions of less than £150 a month, no commission will be payable. Nil commission terms will be applied to the policy.

Please remember that the figures shown above are just examples of what can be achieved. The above example shows what the figures would be where Initial (plus a % of Level) or Level or Fund-based is chosen. It is, of course, possible to mix and match from the overall menu.
