A key feature of the stakeholder pension is that the annual charges must not exceed 1% of the fund value. With the IAP scheme, the charge starts at only 0.75%. Better still, as the total paid into the scheme increases, this percentage will fall, ultimately to 0.60%. So as charges fall, each individual benefits from the contributions made by all the other members.
For further details members should contact HBOS directly, quoting the name of the Institution and the Scheme Reference Number X4633.
