Pension Savers

Criticising us too strongly now for not saving enough risks derailing Auto-Enrolment

Pension Savers

An industry opened up by the new pension freedoms announced in 2015, which has changed the landscape when it comes to what we can all do with our retirement savings. As a result, the industry has inevitably opened the door to less scrupulous operators at the same time. With those greater freedoms comes an increased responsibility to tread carefully.

Trustworthy Pensions

As children and adults, we all look for guidance, advice and security when faced with unfamiliar situations. Workplace pensions are new for most employers. So when we’re told we must choose one for our workers and when ‘experts’ are telling us to be careful what we choose, where should we look to for guidance?

Husky Clients

Small employers aren’t financial experts – they are normal human beings. They need much more help to know what’s a decent provider and what isn’t. We couldn’t be agnostic – there’s too much risk of harm.

Husky enables employers and accountants to look at workplace pensions and auto-enrolment as the business issue it is.

Husky Workplace Pension Service

There are escalating minimum contribution levels for workplace pensions. Until the end of September 2017 it’s 2%, rising to 5% until October 2018 when it goes up again to 8%.

Pension Contributions

Many employers left to offer a workplace pension will be looking for external help, whether from an IFA, accountant or even book-keeper as they struggle to comply. This creates opportunity – but also an obligation to clients to “get it right”.

Pension Advisors

Under the new rules for auto-enrolment, all employers must eventually offer a workplace pension scheme and automatically enrol eligible workers in it. Automatic enrolment is being introduced in stages up until 2018. The largest employers started first, followed by medium-sized. We’re now entering the phase when small employers, are being introduced.
