Whats the best way to buy a pension?
To give you the best tips we’ve got an extensive section on this called How to Buy a Pension including “The Golden Rules for buying a pension”. In our view the best way to buy a pension is to go straight to an IFA (see It’s best to use an IFA). However if you do your homework fairly thoroughly then you could save money by buying direct from a pension provider. But you will have to be careful because it seems your chances of compensation would be limited if the pension isn’t right for you compared to if you go through an IFA (see Execution Only and Buying direct is not always best).
