Description
For most individuals, their company or personal pension scheme represents their most valuable asset, usually far exceeding the value of the family home by retirement age. Freedom to choose a pension scheme is also the freedom to do nothing; potentially disastrous since the state no longer provides an adequate safety net. This text shows how the pensions industry operates its pensions schemes, and how, with this understanding, you can better control and maximize your own or your company's financial health. Its primary aim is to deepen understanding, to dispel fear and put the control of the fund firmly in the grasp of those who pay for it and those who undertake legal responsibility for its successful running.
