Types of pension

Personal pension

If your employer doesn't offer a company plan, or if you're self-employed, you could consider paying into a personal pension.

This means paying a regular and/or lump sum to your pension provider, who invests the money on your behalf. You use the fund that has built up to provide your income at retirement.

A Stakeholder is designed to be more straightforward and have lower costs than some other types of company or personal pension.

You can take out a Stakeholder pension if you:

  • are employed (you may be able to have one in addition to a company pension)
  • are self-employed
  • want to provide for someone else who isn't employed, such as a spouse/civil partner or your children.

See your options in Saving for Retirement.
