Cheapest Stakeholder Pensions

Below is a list of the discounted stakeholder pensions offered by www. pensions online that you can buy on a direct offer basis (Click on the apply now link).

The amount your pension might be worth at retirement is dependent on how long you save for, how much you pay in, the investment performance of the funds chosen and annuity rates at the time you retire.

To find out how much your pension might be worth at retirement you can view a generic quote for each provider in the "Which Funds Can I Invest In" table below.

(Please note that these discounts are offered by www.pensions online.info by way of commission sacrifice. You are not able to benefit from these discounts if you deal with the pension providers direct)

Note 1

Stakeholder Pensions normally have an annual management charge of 1%. This is sometimes reduced if you have a large fund. However, the annual management charge quoted in our table incorporates the discounts offered by Pensions Online that are not available to you if you choose to deal with the provider directly. So an 0.9% annual management charge means that it you will cost you 0.9% of the total value of your pension fund every year to have your pension investments professionally managed by the provider chosen.

As your fund grows, if you have invested with a provider that offers a reduction in annual management charges for large funds, this will help to save you even more money in annual management costs over the longer term.

For example;

if you had £10,000 invested in your pension fund with Standard Life and the pension was set up via www.pensions online.info you would only pay £90 a year in charges.(Please note for the With Profits fund this is reduced to 0.7% via pensionsonline for a fund value of up to £25,000) This discount would last for the duration of the pension - or until you decided to switch to another pension.

Under Standard Lifes current charging structure, once your fund reaches £25,000 Standard life will reduce your annual management charge (AMC) by a further 0.1% meaning that you would then only pay £200 a year in charges for a fund valued at £25,000. (Currently this is reduced to £150 if you are investing in the With Profits Fund). Above £50,000 and the AMC reduces by another 0.1%.

(Please note: the annual management charge figures quoted above for Standard Life are correct as at January 2003 but are only designed to give you an idea of how the discounts we offer are applied. subject to the maximum 1% cap for annual management charges that applies to stakeholder pensions, all pension providers reserve the right to alter their charging structures in the future and you should check the charging structure of any pension plan you choose to invest with at the time you apply)

Note 3

The Saving column gives an example of how much the discounted charges could save over the life of a pension. The figures given assume a monthly contribution of £200 net by a 20 year old paying standard rate tax, retiring at 65 and with an annual growth to their fund of 7%. to see the actual quotes used for the illustrations click on the links below.

Please note: These figures are provided for information only. Your own circumstances such as how long you will be investing for and how much you invest will determine the actual savings made by investing into a discounted stakeholder pension scheme via www.pensions online.info
