    Pensions

    Can anyone recommend a company pension scheme? I have loads here and there from previous permie roles, but would like to have one through my co. Not interested in building a BLTs empire etc, just want to pay off my present mortgage and have a simple retirement life in about 10 years.

    Have you thought of Brazilian .com startups?

      The world cup is going to Brazil in 2014, so a portfolio of a few flats near the Maracana must be a good bet.

        I'm in an almost identical position, with about 20 years of permie pensions behind me and now wondering what to do as a contractor.

        Current plan is to set up a flexible SIPP that can be paid into either personally or by the company.

          Be wary of putting all your eggs in one basket.

          Equitable Life, Northern Rock, the Mirror Group...

            I know if I go to speak to and IFA he is going to recommend the plan that would pay him more commission , and the bank will recommend their own... is there a sort of a compare pension site I can look at?

              Why not try "Fidelity", they have loads of different funds.

                I was going to say I use Sippdeal but their website is out of action. Should I be worried ? Lowest Sipp charges when I looked into it but you are totally on your own on where it is invested.

                  I'm looking to use Hargreaves Lansdown (www.h-l.co.uk). They seem to have a very good reputation.

                    I have 2 SIPPS. I use H-L for funds and Alliance trust for individual shares. They were both best value for those
