Standard Life's Group Stakeholder Pension Plan

Our Group Stakeholder Pension Plan is designed so that employers can provide a valuable benefit for their employees, while helping them to comply with the Government's new pensions legislation.

Why Choose Standard Life for Stakeholder?

Our mutual status can offer you and your employees better value

We are pleased to offer all our Stakeholder customers the benefits of mutuality through investment in our Stakeholder With Profits fund. As a mutual company, we have no shareholders to satisfy so all our profits are available for distribution to our with profits policyholders. This can mean better value for you and your employees.

• Promotional Support for employers to help publicise the scheme including wage slip flyers, posters and leaflets.
