DWA have estimated the Returns (Net of fees) net of all costs and charges based on available information for a member with a typical pot size of £10,000 and an average salary of £30,000. Actual returns may vary depending on a variety of factors including specific costs negotiated by a member's employer, actual pot size and actual salary. Where possible we have used actual return series available, though in assumptions have been made based on the underlying funds because of poor data availability and this may also result in some variance. The effect of charges have been applied to the return series on a monthly basis via a subtraction/addition of the proportionate amount, this may create small discrepancies with actual experience depending on charging structure. DWA are happy to correct any discrepancies should evidence be provided. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. The value of investments can rise and fall, you may get back less than you put in.

Identify what you need from a pension scheme. Where has your current provider fallen short? What should the pension do for you, your client and their employees? Decide on the support and features you need long-term.
Explore your options. Which providers meet your requirements, and which providers exceed them? What support do they offer to help you get the pension set up, or is it up to you to communicate with clients and employees?
Launch the scheme. Work with your new pension provider on a plan to introduce the scheme at your business and clients, encouraging employee engagement with their new pension. At Penfold, our Account Managers make the switch easy.
