Stakeholder Pensions

A Stakeholder pension is a form of low cost personal pension aimed at encouraging those people who do not currently have pension provision to save for their retirement. They became available on 6th April 2001. They are not a form of state pension. In order to reach as wide an audience as possible, Stakeholder pension schemes are intended to be flexible and easy to understand. Employers with 5 or more employees have had an obligation to provide their employees with access to a stakeholder pension scheme since 8th October 2001, although it is not compulsory to save for retirement with a Stakeholder Pension plan or any other savings related product.

Stakeholder pension plans are privately managed and funded but must operate within a standard framework laid down by the Government.

Stakeholder pensions will be replaced by personal pension accounts.
