Thank you for considering Pensionhelp. We have a great deal of experience of working with financial advisers, accountants, solicitors and other professional introducers and believe we can secure the right outcomes for the clients you introduce to us.

It is the aim of Pensionhelp to be the "go-to-firm" for pensions advice where consumers can be sure they are dealing with a Company which has their best interests at its core. This means that before we can enter into an introducer relationship with you, it is our policy to undertake a process of due diligence in respect of you and your business. We do this as we only like to work with the best kind of people.

We understand that our due diligence process is thorough but we strongly believe that this is necessary, particuarly where you will be providing ongoing servicing in respect of the investments we recommend to a client. We want to ensure the client's best interests are met and that any arrangements or investments we recommend are not only right for the client but are aligned to how you will advise on or manage the assets and meet the clients best interests in future.

In particular, we need to understand your investment process so we can ensure that the client's best interests are met where we advise on a pension transfer from a defined benefit (DB) scheme or other scheme with safeguarded benefits. We are required to consider the assets in which the client's funds will be invested as well as the specific receiving scheme. It is our responsibility to take into account the characteristics of these assets.

Due to DB transfers being an irreversible decision, significant deviation from investment recommendations made by Pensionhelp can have a detrimental effect on the client's retirement planning. As we only like to work with the best kinds of people, we want to make sure that you will be in a position to meet the client's needs in future.

We request that you provide as much information as possible - your answers will be treated as strictly private and confidential. If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch with a member of the Pensionhelp Team.

Please note that this form must be completed by an individual authorised by the company to complete introducer agreements such as a Director or Compliance Manager.

Mark Wilson, Managing Director

Your answers will be treated as strictly private and confidential.

Disclaimer

Final Salary Pensions are suitable for the vast majority of members. Transferring from a final salary pension scheme is an irreversible decision and it could have a detrimental effect on your retirement planning. The detail on this website is for information purposes only and is not to be taken as a personal recommendation. Before taking any action, you should take financial advice from a suitably qualified independent financial adviser. Any potential advantages of transferring from a defined benefit scheme to a defined contribution scheme are often outweighed by the costs, risks and loss of benefits involved.
