Why Invest in a Pension with Heritage?

At Heritage, we recognise that the real value of financial advice is the ongoing support we provide to our clients to ensure their pensions continue to meet the objectives that they set up them up for. As well as regularly reviewing the performance of your pension funds and giving you the opportunity to appraise of any changes in your circumstances that may effect their suitability, we will actively review the underlying funds to ensure that your pension continue to perform as well as possible in all market conditions. Our commitment to ongoing servicing is formalised through our servicing propostions - more details of which you can find below.

Heritage offer five servicing arrangements as we know different clients have different needs. As we know, some clients already have a relationship with a discretionary fund manager and simply require we set up a pension on their behalf. For these clients we offer our Discretionary Service. For clients who are looking for a cost effective route to manage their own pension funds, our Self Select Service is most appropriate. Our other three service options are for clients who value the ongoing support of a financial adviser through regular fund review and reporting. We offer three options which provide an increasing level of ongoing service. Our Super Saver Service offers access to ongoing financial support at a very competive rate. Our clients with the Executive Service package meet with their adviser every year to discuss their pension performances and reappraise their financial goals. Our Premier service is our top servicing option offering access to our Heritage Growth and Income portfolios and is available to clients with £75,000 or more funds under management.
