Why choose us?

GOING STRONG.

When you take out a pension, you need to feel confident that the company you invest with is reliable. Our heritage means that we’ve gained a lot of experience in managing people’s money, so you can trust us, even in the tough times.

GOOD CREDENTIALS.

In these turbulent times, it’s never been more important to make sure your money is invested with a company that demonstrates financial strength and integrity. That’s why we’re proud that:

1. We’re ranked among the top 100 companies on the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE 100).
2. We pay over 735,000 customers around £1.3 billion in pension income each year.
3. We’re highly rated for financial strength amongst UK insurance companies, as recognised by three of the world’s leading independent rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and A.M.Best.
4. We’re financially stable. As at 31 December 2012, we had an Insurance Group Directive capital surplus of £4.1 billion, which is much higher than the Financial Conduct Authority’s required minimum.
