Q: Why did you chose the RIBA Pension?
A: We chose the RIBA Pension because of the low fees. We also liked the fact that it would be organised and ran through our industry governing body, providing us with piece of mind for the future. Employees can also take their pensions with them when they move practice, so it’s a win win situation all around.
Q: What are the main benefits the RIBA Pension has to offer?
A: Low fees, security and piece of mind.
Q: Has the RIBA Pension helped to take away the stress of having to comply with the new auto-enrolment rules?
A: Most definitely. It would have been a time-consuming job looking around for a provider so this has saved us both time and money.
