Pension schemes

Pensions - further details

An individual should be given a pensions system that is as easy to understand as possible, and encourages saving, while preventing abuse by the very wealthy.

Registered pension schemes

Schemes to provide pensions are called registered pension schemes. Read more about the four main types of pension scheme available.

Self-directed investments

Self-directed investing is when an investor chooses not to use the services of an adviser, but instead researches and makes investment decisions for themselves.

Self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs)

A SIPP is a personal pension with added flexibility. It puts you in control as you can decide where you want to invest your assets.

Small self-administered pension schemes (SSAS)

A small self-administered pension scheme is an employer-sponsored workplace pension that can provide retirement benefits for up to 12 people.
