Charges and fees

Different types of pension plans have different ways in which they set up their charges and fees.

The company bears all the costs of running the Harmsworth Pension Scheme. In personal pension plans like PensionSaver, the provider's administration and management charges are deducted from your pension account.

The company pays for the life assurance benefit that is available automatically in PensionSaver as well as setting it up for you, so you don't have to arrange this yourself. The company has also teamed up with a leading financial adviser, to help you buy your annuity when you retire.

Top tips

  • The charges in a company pension plan tend to be less than those in an individual pan as the company can negotiate lower charges on behalf of its members.
  • Always check the small print; sometimes the charges you have to pay are not always made clear up front.
