Personal Pensions Plan
A Personal Pension is a personally owned pension, held in your name. Unlike a company pension plan, where your employer may make contributions to your pension, only you can make contributions to a personal pension.
A Personal Pension is suitable for anyone saving for their retirement. It is mainly suited to those who are self-employed, or whose employer does not offer a pension scheme.
