How are Corporate Solutions different?

Award-winning, innovative service

Our unique approach is tailored to each client’s needs and has led us to win nine awards in the last two years including Best Pension Adviser 2006. See all Hargreaves Lansdown awards. Moreover, the Government-endorsed Pensions at Work website cites existing Hargreaves Lansdown client, Gap, as a case study of an effectively communicated DC pension scheme.

We are part of the Hargreaves Lansdown Group

This strengthens our position as we have over 25 years of financial services skills, experience and knowledge. Our size and market presence puts us in an enviable position to offer our clients preferential terms, bespoke packages and access to other areas of our expertise. These include unique fund choice solutions, access to full financial advice as well as sophisticated annuity sourcing for retiring scheme members. In addition, we have strong financial reserves, full disaster recovery procedures and dedicated compliance and IT resources.

We engage employees

By providing the right level of information that is tailored to each workforce, we make sure that employees understand pension planning and appreciate their company pension scheme. This means they can save at the right level to achieve their desired retirement income. Moreover, it means that the employer’s benefit spend is worthwhile because the staff understand the value of it.

We are contract-based defined contribution specialists

In the last 18 months, there has been a gradual migration by many employers from traditional trust-based arrangements to contract-based alternatives. This means that decisions on investment strategy and contribution levels must be made by the scheme members not a board of trustees. Unlike most of our competitors, we have delivered award-winning service on contract-based pensions rather than occupational schemes. Our expertise has been built up by communicating to individuals rather than trustees. We can therefore provide the right level of service on the schemes employers are now electing to operate.
