We’ve reduced the size of your Annual Member Statement to provide you with the key information in a short, snappy and easy to understand format. This is in line with the governments initiative for all workplace pensions to provide simpler annual benefits statements for their members. As well as being much easier to read and digest, the smaller statement uses less paper so its cost efficient and better for the environment. We’re also working hard to provide all members with online statements in the near future.
