What is your attitude/appetite towards risk?
Do you already have a pension elsewhere (e.g. Final Salary Pension Plan)?
Are you prepared to make your own investment choices?
Are you looking to make employee and employer based contributions?
Have you considered other types of pension plans such as SIPP?
There are a lot of other questions you need to ask yourself, and you really need to speak to an IFA rather than us.
Stakeholder pensions are not for everyone, they aren't for me... too limited (in terms of investment choices).If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here. -
I know the minefield, toes have been blown off too many times. Just getting any feel from others before making any steps either way thanks.Comment

Originally posted by pmeswani View PostMy view is to avoid Stakeholder Pensions as they are a waste of investment. I would recommend going down the road of a SIPP, especially for a more diverse investment choices. I would seriously speak to an IFA before committing to any pension provider, but if you are looking for a recommendation (without accepting any blame), have a look at Hargreaves Lansdown | Best ISA & SIPP | Buy funds and shares.Comment

Originally posted by moorfield View PostWHS. Sippdeal are better/cheaper for dealing shares directly (rather than funds). I use them mainly because I have a penchant for buying BP shares at round about £6 a pop.
But going back to the OP, it is difficult for us to recommend any one pension plan / provider, as it is dependant on age, attitude to risk and number of other factors. It is key that you speak to an IFA about your requirements and which provider to go with.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment
