When we launched PLS we promised to review it regularly, so that it would automatically change over time to take account of changes in retirement regulations and investment opportunities. When these reviews are carried out, all customers using PLS automatically benefit from the changes.
In the past we have made a number of changes to PLS which have taken into account the following:
- New State Pension ages
- New minimum annuity requirements
- New tax free lump sum options.
- Changes to the asset allocation of the Pension Stability Fund, the Flexible Fund and the Pension for Life Fund.
As part of the latest review we are making changes which includes:
- Update to the ‘growth phase’ of the strategy by introducing the Consensus Plus Fund with effect from May 2013.
- Update for new Revenue limits
- Update asset allocation of the Flexible Fund and Pension Stability Fund
