What is the typical charge (made to a company by an independent
pensions advisor) for setting the pension for an employee? How is it
typically calculated?
I suspect there is no "typical" - at least not without a great deal more
about the employee's circumstances - age, income, existing pension plans
if any, property, other savings and investments, mortgage and other
liabilities, family, and so on. But as I suspect you know, it ain't
free or cheap since IFAs were (broadly speaking) barred from commission
where they act as intermediaries. Eg I know someone coming up
retirement who paid £1,500 for advice (ie without actual management).
But he was (by my standards) well-heeled and sleek.
IIRC there was a Which? report on this last year which should have more
reliable figures. I don't subscribe any longer but you may be able to
access it at a library.
