The Pension Choices Plan facilitates the full range of pension freedom reforms aimed at Prudential customers who choose not to take financial advice. |
Prudential has this week launched the Pension Choices Plan, a new non-advised personal pension and drawdown product which will give savers access to the full range of pension freedom options while catering for those who feel they do not need the help of a financial adviser before choosing income drawdown.
Retirees whose pension savings products are protected by the government's safeguarded benefits legislation will still be required to take financial advice before taking this or any other drawdown product.
Commenting on the announcement, Prudential's Executive Director of Distribution, John Warburton, said: "We are unwavering in our belief that a majority of people will find financial advice to be the best protection against taking a wrong turn in the retirement planning journey. However, we also respect the significance of choice within the new pension freedom regime so it is important that we accommodate those who feel comfortable making big retirement decisions for themselves.
“We are aware of an appetite from existing customers for a non-advised drawdown proposition, particularly where people wish to access their fund over a few years but don’t want to trigger a large tax payment.”
PruFunds & Dynamic Portfolios
The new product offers a range of multi-asset funds to help meet customer’s objectives. Customers can also select a cash fund if they want capital protection ahead of investment growth.
The product gives access to four funds within Prudential’s hugely popular risk-managed and smoothed PruFund range which is in addition to a choice of four funds from the risk-rated Dynamic Portfolios range. It is the first time Prudential’s PruFund range has been available to consumers without financial advice since it was introduced in 2004.
