17 February 2020 at 6:49PM. Have been told that a Scottish Widows Retirement Account is a solid performer with reasonable charges, pensions do not perform. The investments within the pension perform. SW is not a whole of market platform. It has a large range but nowadays, not being whole of market is unusual on contracts like this.

Scottish Widows Personal Pension vs Hargreaves Lansdown SIPP. I know that this subject has been covered in a rather bitty manner elsewhere, over a long period of time (the earliest reference i found was 2004), but i am looking for some advice.

Nest or Scottish Widows. My Wife has a partime job earning under the tax threshold. She has a work pension with Nest in which her employer also contributes. She wishes to make a one off additional contribution to take advantage of her tax allowance. I understand this payment can be up to the amount of her annual wage.

Hi. Does anyone understand about pensions? I have an old work pension with Aviva in the managed fund, 0.60% per year management fees, and I have just started a new work pension with my new employer, this is with Scottish Widows and in the managed fund.

Like everyone else I took the hit from Covid and in ...

On my 1998 Clerical Medical documentation it says that tax will be deducted from my pension payment at source. This month, for the first time since 1998, my pension payment was late going into my bank account and was from Scottish Widows with no reference to refer to - just Bank Transfer. But the key thing is, that CM merging into SW is fine ...

Rather than continuing to contribute to this pension scheme - I would like to release the money and invest in property. I have spoken to Scottish windows who ...
