Stakeholder Pension Scheme

A stakeholder pension is a simple and straightforward way to save for your retirement. It's a special type of pension plan that must meet the government requirements about low minimum payments and capped charges. You can claim tax relief and if you pay basic rate tax, we'll do the paperwork for you. The Stakeholder Pension Scheme offers government tax relief, stock market investing and the option to take tax-free cash when you retire.

You can take your pension with you when you change jobs and your employer can make contributions as well. You can get access to your money from age 55 and with the recent pension changes, it's even easier to use your pension savings in the way that suits your retirement.

Key Features

  • Invest in a range of funds or choose a Lifestyle profile
  • Make as many regular or ad-hoc payments as you like
  • Increase, decrease, stop and start your payments to suit your circumstances
