  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.

  While few of us would contest the importance of self-sufficiency, not everyone feels ready to proceed with confidence. Moreover, we often do not know to whom we can turn for help. Pensions jargon is formidable. So where do we start? The history of financial fraud and pension mis-selling is littered with incomprehensible policies and plausible rogues. Which is why you should read on. This book is designed to help you to help yourself. Despite all the adverse publicity there are many terrific company schemes and individual plans out there. This book will help you find them. Pension Power will show you how to identify the right type of advice for your needs and explains how to track down the best firm for your requirements. Pension Power takes a robust, no-nonsense approach to the world of pensions and reduces to the level of common sense a process where jargon and obfuscation have for too long been employed in order to justify the remuneration of the incompetant and the unscrupulous.
