Be a Friend of the Pension Quality Mark!
25/03/2010
On the day that four more schemes were awarded the Pension Quality Mark, the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has launched a new initiative to recognise the advisers and providers who are helping to make the award such a success.
One in five Pension Quality Mark applications are being made by advisers on behalf of schemes and many more applications are made with their support.
From today pension consultants, advisers, providers and IFAs who raise awareness of the Quality Mark or help clients with applications, will be able to become a ‘Friend of Pension Quality Mark’. The initiative has been launched to recognise the welcome support that Pension Quality Mark is receiving from the pensions industry and encourage a further boost to applications for awards.
Joanne Segars, NAPF Chief Executive said
“Pension Quality Mark doesn’t only benefit employees and employers, it is good news for the whole pensions industry. We’re delighted that so many pensions providers, consultants and advisers already recognise the benefits of the Mark and are encouraging clients to apply.
“The launch of Friends of Pension Quality Mark will mean these companies will get the recognition they deserve, and I encourage more to follow suit.”
The latest four schemes to achieve the Pension Quality Mark are Saffron Building Society Stakeholder Pension Scheme, Global Aerospace Underwriting Managers Pension Scheme, Discovery Communications GPP and Provident Financial Stakeholder Pension Plan and takes the number of schemes awarded the Pension Quality Mark to 42.
