Are you getting the most from your existing pension plans?
If any of the following applies to your current policy, then it may be worth investigating the potential for transferring it to a new, lower charging contract.
There are many reasons why you should consider letting UK IFA NET Ltd review your existing pension arrangements. The main reasons why you should consider using this service are:
No Initial charges under "Stakeholder rules"
Pension charging structures have changed dramatically over the past few years with the introduction of "Stakeholder pensions", providers had to cap their annual charges to no more than 1%. The charges under a new pension are therefore far less than for a pension taken out in the past.
Depending on the size of your fund this can reduce your annual management charge to as low as 0.75% With no charge other than the annual management charge
You may find you have a pension plan that is overpriced and outdated.
By reducing the charges applied to contributions, this allows potentially greater flexibility and ultimately, a greater fund value at retirement. In our experience, many of the old style personal pensions apply charges well in excess of 1% without any out-performance to justify it.
By switching your existing fund and future contributions into a Stakeholder style contract, the ongoing charging structure could potentially be more beneficial for you. This could mean that more of your pension contributions will be invested for you.
When was the last time you checked how your money was doing?
If you have not reviewed your pension investment in recent years, you may have your money invested in funds that are consistently under-performing the market or sector average. UK IFA NET Ltd can compare your current investment fund performance against the whole market to see if your money is under-achieving. Your attitude to risk may also have changed from when you first took out your pension and you might have a pension that is invested in funds that are either too risky or maybe too cautious.
What does UK IFA NET Ltd offer?
After gaining your authority they will contact your existing pension provider for an up to date fund valuation and transfer valuation along with full details of all the relevant charges applicable to your pension fund. They will also ask your pension provider to supply them with a projection of benefits at your selected retirement age. This information will then enable them to compare your current pension plan from both a charging and performance point of view against the whole market place. They will then be in a position to advise you the best course of action to take. They will produce a report that will highlight the main factors for their recommendation that could influence whether or not transferring to another provider is the right thing for you to do.
