How do I get one?

Personal Pensions are Stakeholder Pensions can be picked up from a variety of sources including Banks, Building Societies, Insurance Companies, Independent Financial Advisers and even some retailers (supermarkets etc). If you are confident in choosing a product that is right for you then get on and do it! If you have any doubt then we suggest you obtain Independent Financial Advice.
We would recommend that you seek the advice of an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). It is likely that advisers from Banks, Building Societies and Insurance Companies will only be able to recommend products offered by them. IFAs have access to all the products offered by all companies and so can search out the best deal for you. You will also get the benefit of professional quality advice regarding which policy is best for you and the investment of your fund.
