LabelHave you taken out a Stakeholder pension?
Question text (Text fill if applicable = you are probably aware that) Stakeholder pensions became available in April 2001 and aim to provide a low charge, privately funded, supplement to the basic state pension. Many people can pay into them even if they have an existing occupational pension. You can pay in up to £3,600 each year. Contributions can be made direct to pensions providers or, often through an employer. Have you, or has someone on your behalf, taken out a Stakeholder pension since they became available last year?
