Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) plans have changed greatly over the past twenty years in the pensions industry. Despite no longer being a mandatory arrangement, trustees and companies still want to offer an attractive range of AVC provisions that complement and enhance the benefits of their main plan. The only way of achieving this is by turning to the recognised experts.
We help trustees develop an appropriate strategy to select the right funds from the right providers, by implementing and communicating the AVC arrangements effectively and efficiently. Once they are in place, we can help monitor them to ensure they satisfy the client’s requirements, meet best practice in the market and evolve alongside the main plan and its members.
We offer the following services:
We are widely regarded as one of the market leaders for AVC advice. Our annual survey of AVC providers and schemes is widely quoted throughout the industry and is used by many of our competitors. It has evolved significantly as the AVC marketplace has changed and gives detailed information on AVC providers, their products and what pension schemes are doing in relation to AVCs. The service is backed up with a comprehensive database on all of the major providers and by a team who regularly undertake visits and monitoring exercises.
