Experts In Pensions

If your company pension scheme is defined as a ‘benefit’, then you’ll be facing the major issue of affording the employer contributions. On one hand, you need to contain and monitor your pension costs. On the other, you’ll want to know that your pension provision will give your employees retirement security. Recent case law regarding pensions has resulted in many employers coming under pressure from the Pensions Regulator to increase funding.

  • Employers
  • Individuals
  • Pension scheme trustees
  • Professional advisers
