GROUP PERSONAL PENSION

Workplace Pensions form an important part of retirement savings planning, serving as a crucial financial lifeline in our golden years. However, with the cost of living crisis and the constant fluctuations in global affairs, life has become increasingly expensive. It is imperative, therefore, that we take proactive steps to ensure we are saving enough to maintain our current standards of living during retirement.

Your current Workplace Pension Provider is Royal London, a highly reputable and trusted company that specialises in providing a wide range of comprehensive pension solutions. With a strong commitment to supporting both employers and employees, Royal London offers tailored pension plans that meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.

One of the key advantages of your BRC Workplace Pension is that it is a Group Personal Pension. This means that you have the opportunity to build up a personal pension pot, allowing you to take control of your retirement savings. With the flexibility to administer your pension as and when you desire, you have the freedom to make decisions that align with your financial objectives and circumstances.

Not only does Royal London empower you to manage your pension, but they also provide a diverse selection of investment options. With access to over 180 funds managed through Aviva, you can select investments that align with your risk tolerance and financial goals. This allows you to create a well-diversified portfolio that has the potential to generate attractive returns over the long term. However, please remember your investments can go up as well as down. For those who do not wish to personally select their investments, BRC have selected a default investment option where your pension contributions are automatically invested each month in the chosen arrangement. You can find out more on this default investment arrangement by viewing the presentation and newsletter provided below.

To make managing your Workplace Pension even more convenient, Royal London offers both a user-friendly online platform and a dedicated mobile app. By simply clicking on the Royal London logo, you can easily register for access or login to your account.

Stay informed with the latest updates on your Group Personal Pension by conveniently accessing our comprehensive Newsletter below.

A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until age 55 (57 from April 2028 unless the plan has a protected pension age). The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested which would have an impact on the level of pension benefits available.
