Company Pension Scheme Review When was the last time your company pension scheme was reviewed? Are you aware that you may be able to reduce the cost of your scheme whilst increasing the benefits to your employees? Many employers see the company pension scheme as the foundation of their employee benefits. However many schemes are set up without employees having access to regular financial advice. This can have a long-term detrimental effect on the pension provision of an employee.
Our Solution Restructure the pension scheme and build in regular advice and consultation for employees and employers. Provide an account manager to ensure that pension benefits continuously meet company and individual employee needs.

Why Do Pensions Get Such Bad Publicity? Despite being one of the most tax efficient ways to save for your retirement, many people have a deep mistrust of pensions. We believe this stems from a number of factors: • Pensions not reviewed on a regular basis. • Lack of understanding about how pensions work. • Lack of client specific advice. Many individuals do not find the time or do not have the opportunity to review their pension provision.
Our Solution When we are asked to restructure a pension scheme we build in regular clinics for all employees to receive advice on a one to one basis. We can also provide: • Seminar presentations on employee benefits • Mid career financial presentations for employees • Retirement presentations for employees

Our Business Process Step 1 Meet with Finance Director or Head of Human Resources. Discuss existing company pension and other employee benefits. Step 2 Gather detailed information on existing company pension scheme and other employee benefits to enable us to provide a comparison. Step 3 Produce a comparison of existing arrangements with a new scheme building in more employee benefits. This will include a comparison of both cost and benefits. Step 4 Present a comparison of both schemes to the company decision makers. Step 5 Present full details of the new proposals to employees. Step 6 Complete paperwork. Step 7 Put in place a service agreement for on-going advice to the Company and its employees.

Some Things To Consider Many people reaching retirement wish they had done more financial planning years before. “I wish I had heard this 20 years ago�. Many employees join a company pension scheme and hardly give it any consideration until a few years before retirement. Should on-going financial advice on a pension scheme be offered as an employee benefit? Regular financial advice to an individual on their company pension scheme will greatly increase the potential for a higher retirement income in the future. Because of economies of scale, setting up arrangements with more benefits are often more cost effective than leaving things as they are.
