When talking about pension schemes we like to address the most important thing first which is “how much will it cost me”
Now we’d like to show you the breakdown of how pension contributions are paid
So for anyone who has been told pensions are a waste of money this next slide we think has a strong argument against that statement !
So, the other important bit is what will you get back ? Using the previous example of a lady aged 30 paying 5% and AES paying 10% heres an indication of the potential returns at retirement. This is using the lowest of the assumptions for investment return which is 5%
This slide shows how the figures difference assuming 7% growth – huge difference !! – this also shows how importantant it is to keep reviewing your plan to ensure it is on track and this is where we feel we will be able to help you.
When recommending a pension provider to an employer we start by looking at 3 main areas :
Scottish Equitable were acquired by AEGON a few years ago who are one of the worlds strongest pension offices
Charges – means what will come out of my fund to pay for the provider to run eth scheme. In the bad old days these charges were excessive to say the least !
1. Using Scot Eq’s own funds
2. Using their external fund links
Using the default option
This fund is 75% passively invested which means it merely tracks world indexes however the balance if actively managed by five of the UKs top external fund managers. Although this type of fund is not unique – it usually would carry an additional charge whereas this one has no additional fees.
Lifestyling is now a fabulous feature of most group pension schemes and is free of additional charge
Instruction Suggested Script ABC have arranged this plan with SLAC.
We have brought a personalised information pack along today and these will be distributed after this presentation
You will also have on-line access to see the value of your fund and the contributions being paid
In addition you will find some very useful retirement planning tools which will help you prepare for retirement.
