Royal London Pension reviews (55)

pension fund decreasing

company is wiping out my pension fund as i get closer to retirement, if anyone has seen there pension fund collapsing as they near retirement then talk to some of the younger people, there pensions are still rising, while older members are seeing there pensions collapse as they near retirement, company is a total scam and ombudsman and regulators do nothing even though they can see what is happening, pension companies are the biggest rip off since thatcher deregulated them , and royal london is one of the worst offenders Reviewed on: 30th April 2023

I feel looked after

Royal London gives me confidence in their products by giving good timely communication about how my pension is doing. I am always updated if anything changes & yearly statements help me keep on track. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

I've had a better toothache

They are not customer orientated whatsoever. Won't answer phones, so you email them but they send you another email with link, to another Web form, to verify yourself with the same information you emailed them in the first place, nonsense! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Useless churning "strategy", exorbitant fees

My workplace setup a Royal London pension - by default it is the "Balanced Lifestyle Strategy (drawdown)". I'm glad I only put in the bare minimum required for employer matching because: 1. Scammy fund administrators and investment managers - I noticed dozens of transactions per month, in and out of various of their ridiculously high cost funds. Some help you are, total POS. 2. Also, exorbitant fees for what is effectively a global equity index fund (minimum 100 bps or more per year) - shameful. How dare you. Stay away from these scammers, invest in an index fund yourself. (Blackrock/vanguard should be <10 bps per year) Reviewed on: 28th March 2023
