  • Scheme passes £1 billion Assets Under Administration

  • 63% manage their pensions online
  • Almost a quarter of members log in each month to check up on their pension

Hargreaves Lansdown has been chosen as the Workplace Pension Provider of the Year at the prestigious Workplace Savings and Benefits awards in London. The award was in recognition of the company's Group Sipp, which is now being used to provide workplace savings for over 200 employers and over 40,000 employees.

Tom McPhail, Head of Pensions Research 'Auto-enrolment is proving a resounding success in kick-starting millions of workers' retirement savings, but it is just a starting point. Good member engagement is the answer to the next phase of the challenge. Hargreaves Lansdown has demonstrated this member engagement is possible. Our use of innovative technology and simple decision making tools has made it possible for members to take control of their retirement savings.'

Members enjoy use of smart device apps for phone and tablet, online calculators, live prices for share trading.

Employers such as McCarthy & Stone, Imagination and Logicalis have found their employees have become more interested in saving for retirement and in many cases have gone on to increase their contribution rates.

Crucially, in the post-budget world of pensions, all Hargreaves Lansdown's group Sipp members enjoy automatic access to low cost drawdown plans and a full annuity broking service. This enables them to make informed decisions and to select a bespoke retirement solution which is perfectly tailored to their individual circumstances.
