Individual Pension Planning

Moss & Roberts regularly provide pension advice for the self employed, employees and Directors of companies. This includes enhancing pension benefits and funding early retirement. We also review pension benefits from previous employment's to establish whether transferring benefits could be advantageous.

With the introduction of Stakeholder pensions in April 2001, many employees can take advantage of low charges, even if they are already members of Company Pension Schemes. The self employed can also effect Stakeholder and for the first time, people who are not working can too, including children of all ages! Moss & Roberts can advise on eligibility and suitability of a Stakeholder pension for you!

Family Protection

A number of employee's have Death in Service cover provided by their employers and often this provides valuable protection. However, the financial implications of the death of their spouse or partner are often underestimated and we regularly review this as an overall part of 'family protection'.

The self employed do not have access to company scheme's and protection is also an important part of financial planning for them.

Moss & Roberts can also examine some of the newer types of protection plan in the market place such as Critical Illness and diseases. Also we can advise on income replacement plans for those with limited or no income in the event of long term illness and advise on temporary protection plans such as Accident, Sickness and Unemployment plans which are typically offered by lenders to protect a borrower's mortgage payments.
